This weekend’s UFC action is a go following Friday’s weigh-ins in Abu Dhabi.
The organisation’s 21st event in United Arab Emirates capital will be headlined by a middleweight clash with serious title implications, when former champion Robert Whittaker attempts to get back in the win column several months after his October loss to Khamzat Chimaev against UFC newbie — and recent conqueror of Bo Nickal — Reiner de Ridder.
Elsewhere, in the co-main event Petr Yan will seek to re-establish his own title ambitions at 135-pounds when he looks to end the winning streak of the dangerous Marcus McGhee, while Shara Bullet returns from his first career loss at the hands of Michael ‘Venom’ Page and will fight Marc-Andre Barriault.
There were no major missteps on the scales on Friday, and you can check out the full weigh-ins results below.
