At yesterday's weigh-ins, "Notorious" McGregor came in at 154.6 pounds. Not to be outdone, Alvarez came in on point and weighed 154.4 pounds, clearing the final hurdle for what should be a memorable brawl.
The co-main event will see Tyron Woodley put his welterweight crown on the line against Stephen Thompson, a perfect matchup of power and wrestling against electric striking and unorthodox attacks. Thompson weighed 169. Similarly, Woodley clocked in at 169.8, ready to defend his belt.
Joanna Jedrzejczyk will defend her strawweight title against fellow Pole Karolina Kowalkiewicz and both women were on the money at the scale. Challenger Kowalkiewicz scaled in at 114.4 while Jedrzejczyk also came in at 114.4.
Kelvin Gastelum, who has a well-documented history of not making weight, failed once again on the biggest stage. Gastelum was so heavy that he did not even attempt to weigh-in Friday, cancelling his much-anticipated scrap with Donald Cerrone (170.4).
Also of note was Thiago Alves (162.6) missing weight. His opponent, Jim Miller, was reportedly on weight but had to come in within five pounds of his opponent so the New York commission would allow the fight to continue. Miller did just that with a tally of 157.6.
