UFC 263 weigh-in results: Israel Adesanya and Deiveson Figueiredo both on weight, title fights official

UFC 263

The official weigh-ins for UFC 263 took place on Friday in Glendale, Arizona, and 27 of the 28 fighters scheduled to compete made weight.

In the main event of the evening, UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya puts his belt on the line when he takes on rival Marvin Vettori in a rematch. Adesanya came in at 183.5 while Vettori came in at 185 and this title fight is now official for Saturday night.

In the co-main event, UFC flyweight champion Deiveson Figueiredo meets Brandon Moreno in an immediate rematch following their “Fight of the Night” draw at UFC 256 last year. Figueiredo needed until the final seconds of the weigh-in to make the weight, but he stepped on the scale at 125. Moreno also made weight, coming in at 125, as well.

Also on the card is a five-round welterweight bout between Leon Edwards and Nate Diaz. It’s the first time in UFC history that a non-title or non-main event bout has been scheduled for 25 minutes. Both Edwards and Diaz made weight, with Edwards coming in at 170.5 and Diaz weighing in at 170.

The lone fighter to miss weight at UFC 263 was Steven Peterson, who came in at 148.5 for his featherweight bout against Chase Hooper, who successfully made the weight.
