UFC Uruguay weigh-in results: Headliners hit marks

Tomorrow night the UFC will advance into new territory with the interesting looking UFC Uruguay card.

Outside of these fights, the most notable feature of the card is a long-awaited light heavyweight showdown between ranked contenders Ilir Latifi and Volkan Oezdemir. The pair have been scheduled to meet multiple times previously but will finally tangle in Uruguay.
