All 10 main card fighters scheduled to compete at UFC 297 on Saturday successfully made weight Friday morning.
UFC middleweight champion Sean Strickland and his challenger Dricus Du Plessis were two of the first fighters on the scale and both came in under the 185-pound limit. Co-main event competitors Raquel Pennington and Mayra Bueno Silva were also on weight for their vacant women’s bantamweight championship contest.
Not all fighters on the card made weight, however, as there were weight issues for three different preliminary card fighters.
Canadian Malcolm Gordon missed the non-title flyweight limit by 1.5 pounds ahead of his bout with Jimmy Flick. Gordon is coming off two consecutive losses and also missed weight prior to his most recent bout last March.
Bantamweight Ramon Taveras missed weight by nearly four pounds ahead of a scheduled rematch with Canada’s Serhiy Sidey. Sidey earned a first-round stoppage win over Taveras on Dana White’s Contender Series last year but the stoppage was considered early so a rematch was booked.
Also, a scheduled women’s 125-pound bout between Ontario’s Jasmine Jasudavicius and Brazil’s Priscila Cachoeira was changed from a flyweight to a bantamweight matchup after Cachoeira was having trouble making weight. Jasudavicius’s team accepted the bout under the new terms and both fighters weighed in under the new 135-pound limit.
