The headliners of the event successfully made it through the procedure, recording 70.2 kg (154.8 lbs) each on the scale, however, the Russian had to use a screen to stay within the champion’s limit.
The only fighter to fail at the weigh-in was women’s flyweight title fighter Ilima-Lei McFarlane, who due to a 720g (1.6lb) weight cut will not receive the championship belt even if she defeats reigning champion Liz Carmouche.
