The official UFC On FOX 8 weigh-in took place this Friday, at the KeyArena gym, in Seattle, United States. The event will be headlined by the second defense of the flyweight belt. Demetrious Johnson. His opponent will be John Moraga.
The two protagonists of the night reached the same weight, both being 200 grams below the limit for the flyweight category. At the time of the face-off, the highlight was the challenger's petrified face.
First Brazilian to fight in the most famous octagon in the world, Jessica Andrade She was one kilo below the weight reached by her rival, former challenger Liz Carmouche.
Some problems occurred at the time of weighing. In the first pair, John Albert failed to reach the bantamweight mark, exceeding the tolerance by just under half a kilo. Jorge masvidal he missed the lightweight category target by almost a kilo. But ugly it did Tim means, which was more than two kilos above Masvidal's same category limit.
