Two Fighters Fail To Reach Weight Class Limits
It may be the end of ‘The Ultimate Fighter’, which just finished it’s 28th season.
If that’s to be the case, fans will get to relish in a refreshing five-round welterweight battle between Rafael Dos Anjos and Kamaru Usman in the main event of the TUF 28 Finale at the Pearl Concert Theater at Palms Casino Resort on Friday night.
Each fighter stepped on the scales on Thursday morning ahead of their important showdown in the 170-pound weight class.
Looking to bounce back from a disappointing unanimous decision loss to Colby Covington at UFC 225, Rafael Dos Anjos weighed in at 170 pounds for what will be his fourth contest in the welterweight division.
His opponent, Kamaru Usman, who has won all eight of his UFC appearances inside the octagon, weighed in at 170.5 pounds.
All four finalists for TUF 28, which includes Justin Frazier, Juan Francisco Espino Dieppa, Pannie Kianzad and Macy Chiasson, would make weight.
Two fighters would weigh in over their weight class limits as Ji Yeon Kim (130.5) and Rick Glenn (148.5) will part with 30 and 20 percent of their fight purses respectively.
Here are the official weigh-in results below.
