LAS VEGAS – Friday marked the final time the competitors for the highly anticipated UFC 248 main event cross paths before fight night. The ceremonial weigh-ins are the final bit of official business before the card.
The UFC 248 ceremonial weigh-ins were held at the site of the fight, T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on ESPN and early prelims on UFC Fight Pass/ESPN+.
That included the main eventers, UFC middleweight champion [autotag]Israel Adesanya[/autotag] and challenger [autotag]Yoel Romero[/autotag], as well as the other 22 participants on the card. The fighters weighed in officially Friday morning, with all but one of them making weight.
Adesanya (18-0 MMA, 7-0 UFC) will attempt to make his first title defense, whereas Romero (13-4 MMA, 9-3 UFC) hopes his third shot at UFC gold is the charm. Romero has competed in two career UFC title fights, and has dropped both.
