UFC Vegas 124 Weigh-In: All Fighters Make Weight

MMA News Staff
MMA Editorial Team ·

Every fighter made weight for Saturday's UFC Vegas 124 card in Las Vegas, with no drama at Friday's official weigh-in.

Headliners Waldo Cortes-Acosta and Johnny Walker both came in under the heavyweight limit, with Cortes-Acosta weighing 262 pounds and Walker hitting 239, according to Sherdog. The event marks Cortes-Acosta's first UFC main event, albeit as a late replacement. The 35-year-old needs a turnaround after dropping consecutive decisions to Alexander Volkov and Curtis Blaydes following three straight knockout victories.

Walker Pursues Second Heavyweight Win

Walker returns to the Octagon looking to build momentum at heavyweight after knocking out Mick Parkin with a knee in his divisional debut. The Brazilian veteran is headlining a UFC card for the fifth time in his career. The Xtreme Couture fighter enters Saturday's bout at 23-10 with one no contest.

The co-main event features strawweight contenders Virna Jandiroba and Tatiana Suarez, who weighed 116 and 115.5 pounds respectively. Davey Grant and Elijah Smith both made bantamweight at 135.5 pounds.

UFC Vegas 124 streams live on Paramount Plus starting with prelims at 5 p.m. ET, followed by the main card at 8 p.m. ET.
