LAS VEGAS – MMA Junkie was on-scene and reporting from Friday’s official UFC Fight Night 240 (ESPN+) fighter weigh-ins at the UFC Apex.
Among those weighing in were Brendan Allen (23-5 MMA, 11-2 UFC) and Chris Curtis (31-10 MMA, 5-2 UFC), who meet in the middleweight main event rematch. Both headliners did their jobs on the scale, but some undercard athletes didn’t keep it as professional.
