The UFC 296 Official Weigh-In took place on Friday morning at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. The event takes place on Saturday at T-Mobile Arena and is headlined by two world title bouts.
In the main event, Leon Edwards puts his title on the line against Colby “Chaos” Covington. Covington has been out of competition for nearly two years. Edwards hasn’t lost a fight since December 2015.
In the co-main event, flyweight champion Alexandre Pantoja puts his title on the line for the first time against second ranked Brandon Royval. Pantoja won the title in July, defeating Brandon Moreno via split decision at UFC 290. Royval will enter the fight riding a three-fight winning streak.
Undefeated Shavkat Rakhmonov takes on veteran Stephen Thompson in other welterweight action on the main card.
Tony Ferguson, who is on a six-fight losing streak takes on rising lightweight star Paddy Pimblett. Pimblett has been out of action for a year while he recover from multiple surgeries on his foot.
A featherweight bout between tenth ranked Bryce Mitchell and sixth ranked Josh Emmett kick off the main card action. Emmett is coming off back-to-back losses and no one wants to lose three in a row. Mitchell rebounded in his last fight after suffering the first loss in his career to Ilia Topuria. He looks to start a win streak at Emmett’s expense.
