Everything is fine for UFC Atlantic City. This Friday morning (29), the 28 athletes scheduled for the 14 fights of this Saturday's event (30) stepped onto the scales to confirm their presence on the card. With the exception of Julio Maple, all fighters stayed within the limits of their categories.
Protagonists of the event, the flyweights (up to 56,7 kg) Erin Blanchfield e Manon Fiorot They were the first to face the scales and, without any fear, confirmed the main fight, which should guarantee the winner a title shot.
Representatives from Brazil at the event, Vincent Luque, Bruno Blindado, Virna jandiroba, Herbert Burns e Melissa Gatto They also had no problems making weight and confirming their presence at UFC Atlantic City.
The only event at the UFC Atlantic City weigh-in was due to Julio Maple, opponent of the Brazilian Herbert Burns. The American initially weighed 66,6 kg, around 500 grams above the featherweight category limit, already considering the pound tolerance for non-title fights. Arce was allowed to try to cut excess weight for an hour, but came back even heavier on the second attempt, measuring 66,7 kg. As a result, the tendency is for him to give up a percentage of the stock market to Herbert Burns.
