With a tense look between the protagonists of the main fight, all the athletes made weight for UFC 170, an event that takes place this Saturday night (22), in Las Vegas, in the United States. In the most important fight of the show, valid for the women's bantamweight belt, the champion Ronda Rousey and the challenger Sara McMann they made the same weight: 61,2 kg, the division limit.
During the traditional face-off, Rousey quickly approached McMann, clenched her fists and stared at her rival. Sara, also with her arms raised, returned the look with her eyes glazed over at the champion. After a few seconds, Dana White, president of the franchise, separated the athletes who shook hands in a gesture of sportsmanship.
Among the fighters in the second most important fight of the night, a hostile atmosphere prevailed. After Daniel Cormier pushing Patrick Cummins at the press conference on Thursday, this evening they didn't exchange pleasantries either. After staring eye to eye, with their foreheads almost touching, Dana White had to separate the rivals who didn't shake hands.
Among the Brazilians on the card, everyone passed the scale without any problems. The paulista Demian Maia, who is having his third important fight on the show, weighed in at 77,1 kg, the limit for the welterweight division, while his rival weighed 77,6, using the 450g tolerance. in fights that are not valid for title.
In combat 100% Tupiniquim, Raphael Assunção weighed 61,7 kg, while Peter Munhoz he weighed 61,2 kg, the limit for the rooster category. Already Rafaello Tractor, the first Brazilian to enter the octagon, weighed 70,3 kg, the same size as his opponent Erik Koch.
