Ilia Topuria , former featherweight champion (up to 65,7 kg) and current lightweight title contender (70,3 kg), caused suspense by initially registering 70,5 kg – half a kilo above the allowed limit. A second measurement minutes later, however, validated the official weight of 70,3 kg, qualifying the Georgian for the title fight.
In addition to Charles do Bronx and Alexandre Pantoja , all five other Brazilian fighters scheduled for UFC 317 also confirmed their presence through the official weigh-in.
The tranquility extended to the other countrymen: Renato Moicano and Felipe Lima (main card), as well as Gregory Robocop , Viviane Araújo and Jhonata Diniz (preliminary card) are within the limits of their respective categories.
