UFC Vegas 9 weigh in results: All fights official
On Saturday night, the UFC will be back in our lives with the under-the-radar UFC Vegas 9 card out of the promotion’s Apex facility.
The card will be headlined by a compelling heavyweight scrap between ranked contenders Alistair Overeem and Augusto Sakai. Overeem, the former Strikeforce, Dream and K-1 heavyweight champion, will enter the fight with a TKO win over Walt Harris in the rear-view, and is adamant he’s got one more UFC title run left in him. The once-beaten Sakai, on the other hand, is riding four straight wins in the Octagon, having recently bested Chase Sherman, Andrei Arlovski, Marcin Tybura and Blagoy Ivanov.
The UFC Vegas 9 card will be co-headlined by a clash of light heavyweight finishers, as former interim title challenger Ovince Saint Preux takes on brick-fisted Contender Series product Alonzo Menifield. Other highlights of the card include appearances from the likes of Sijara Eubanks, Julia Avila, and Brian Kelleher, and a host intriguing young prospects.
On Friday morning local time, the 18 fighters on this 9-fight UFC Vegas 9 card stepped onto the scale to weigh in for their imminent fights.
