UFC 248 weigh-in results and video – Adesanya vs. Romero
UFC 248 takes place on Saturday, March 7, from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
In the main event, UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya puts his title on the line against former title contender Yoel Romero. Paulo Costa recently defeated Romero, but since Costa cannot compete due to an injury, Romero has received the opportunity which has sparked debate among many.
In the night’s co-main event spot, former UFC strawweight title holder Joanna Jedrzejczyk will look to earn championship gold once again as she meets current champion Weili Zhang at 115-pounds.
