Live! UFC Vegas 82 Early Weigh Ins!

Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is just over 24 hours away from its upcoming UFC Vegas 82 mixed martial arts (MMA) event, headlined by a 185-pound showdown between Top 15 middleweight contenders Brendan Allen and Paul Craig. The action gets underway this Sat. night (Nov. 18, 2023) on ESPN+ from inside the promotion’s APEX facility in Las Vegas, Nevada, and also features a welterweight co-headliner between undefeated rising prospect Michael Morales and well-traveled 170-pound veteran Jake Matthews.

Before the ESPN+ live stream gets underway this weekend in “Sin City,” which also includes the lightweight showdown pitting Chase Hooper against Jordan Leavitt (we hope), all 26 fighters must hit the scale to prove themselves worthy. Note: Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) affords a one-pound allowance in non-title fights.

The UFC Vegas 82 weigh ins will stream LIVE in the embedded video player above beginning promptly at 12 p.m. ET (9 a.m. PT). We’ll also have real-time text updates for the “Allen vs. Craig” weigh ins listed below, updated as they happen. Remember too that staredowns will commence at the conclusion of today’s weigh ins (roughly 2 p.m. ET).
