Brazilian quartet scheduled for the event, Saimon Oliveira, Melquizael Costa, Julia Polastri e Gabriel Miranda also had no problems hitting their respective weights and confirmed duels against David Martinez, Lupita Godinez e Jamall Emmersrespectively.

The only occurrence of the weigh-in was due to the flyweight Ronaldo Rodríguez, who weighed 57,6 kg, about 500 g over the weight limit, considering the pound tolerance allowed for non-title fights. Since it is a small difference, the tendency is for the teams to reach an agreement and Rodriguez to give up part of his purse to his rival Kevin Borjas.
