How does the UFC weigh-in work?

The official UFC weigh-in always takes place the morning before the event, usually between 09am and 11am local time. During this time, all athletes scheduled for the card must step on the scale and weigh in for their category, with the approval of a member of the athletic commission.

The requirements are strict: in title fights, the athlete must respect the exact weight limit of the category, while in non-title fights there is a tolerance of up to 1 pound (approximately 450 grams) above the limit. If the athlete is over the limit, he has up to two hours to try to make up the difference and make the weight again; otherwise, he will face penalties that can include a fine of up to 30% of the purse, loss of bonuses and even cancellation of the fight.
