UFC 294 weigh-in results – Makhachev vs. Volkanovski 2

UFC officials held weigh-ins on Friday for Saturday’s UFC 294 fight card at Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi.

In the main event, UFC lightweight champion Islam Makhachev puts his title on the line for a second time as UFC featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski looks to wear gold in two different weight classes. Volkanovski stepped into UFC 294’s main event as a replacement for Charles Oliveira on less than two weeks’ notice after the former lightweight champion suffered a nasty cut above his right eye. Makhachev edged Volkanovski in a controversial unanimous decision victory this past February.

In the co-main event slot, former UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman moves up to middleweight on short notice to meet undefeated Khamzat Chimaev. Paulo Costa was slated to face Chimaev but was forced out of the bout after being diagnosed with a staph infection following a recent elbow surgery.

Ceremonial weigh-ins will begin at 9 am ET and can be watched below:
