UFC Glendale weigh-in results: Only one fighter misses weight

Tomorrow night, the UFC will take over Glendale, Arizona’s Gila River Arena with an exciting, 14-fight card. This UFC Glendale card will be headlined by a lightweight showdown between long-time contender Dustin Poirier, and former World Series of Fighting champion Justin Gaethje. The co-main event of the evening, meanwhile, will pit former interim welterweight champion Carlos Condit against Alex “Cowboy” Oliveira, who steps in to replace the injured Matt Brown on short notice.

Other features of this UFC Glendale main card include the sophomore UFC effort of red-hot prospect Israel Adesanya, who battles Italy’s Marvin Vettori, and a women’s strawweight bout between former Invicta atomweight champ Michelle Waterson and Cortney Casey. The undercard, finally, includes names like Tim Boetsch, Antonio Carlos Junior, John Moraga, Wilson Reis, Krzysztof Jotko, Brad Tavares, Dhiego Lima, and Yushin Okami.

Early on Friday afternoon, the 28 fighters on this exciting, UFC Glendale bill took to the scale to weigh in for battle.

Remarkably, only one fighter initially missed weight. That fighter is lightweight Gilbert Burns, who tipped the scales just half a pound above the lightweight limit, at 156.5 pounds. Provided he is cleared by a doctor, Burns will have two additional hours to cut this last half pound. This article will be updated to reflect the outcome of his cut.
