It's time. Before the UFC 278, the 26 fighters scheduled for the show need to fulfill the first objective and go through the challenge with the scales. This Friday (10), starting at 11:50 am (Brasília time), the official weigh-in will be broadcast live, with comments and analysis.
Chosen for the main fight, the welterweight champion (up to 77kg.), Kamaru Usman, measures forces against an 'old acquaintance'. The Nigerian is trying to defend his title for the sixth time and beat, once again, Leon edwards.
Willing to get his career back on track, Paulo borrachinha has his last fight under his contract. The Brazilian now faces the former middleweight champion (up to 83,9gk.) Luke Rockhold, who returns to the Octagon after a three-year hiatus.
Another Tupiniquim representative on the main card is the 'People's Champion' José Aldo. With an eye on the chance to compete for the bantamweight belt (up to 61,2kg), the man from Manaus tries to live up to his promise Merab Dvalishvili in its first performance of the 2022 season.
Brazil on the preliminary card
In addition to Borrachinha and Aldo, Leo Santos e Francisco Figueredo also make up the 'Brazilian squad' on the show. The champion of 'The Ultimate Fighter Brasil 2' faces Jared gordon, while Deiveson's brother measures forces with amir albazi. Already Daniel Miojo, which opens the card, finds Victor Altamirano.
