After stepping off the scale, which weighed 61,2 kg, Rousey showed her usual confidence. “She is the biggest challenge I have ever had. I'm grateful to have an opponent like Cat, because I'm going to show you the most fantastic victory you've ever seen from me”, promised the champion.
Zingano, who appeared a little lighter, weighing in at 61 kg, was more succinct: “Watch”, he simply said, showing his concentration for the most important fight of his MMA career.
Practically all fighters had no difficulty making weight. The only one to fail was Mark Muñoz, who even naked was well above the welterweight division limit. Another person using the towel was Jake ellenberger, which managed to stay within the necessary weight.
The four Brazilians in the event were successful at the weigh-in. Muñoz's opponent, Roan Jucão weighed 83,6 kg; Gleison Tibau reached 70,3 kg; Dhiego Lima 77,1 kg, and Valmir Bidu 70,5 kg.
