Contrary to what normally happens at Ultimate weigh-ins, the atmosphere between the fighters was quite friendly. Protagonists of the main fight of the night, Vitor belfort e Dan Henderson They had a very calm look, confirming the cordial atmosphere that has been seen between the two throughout the week.
The first to step on the scale was Henderson. The oldest active UFC athlete, at 45 years old, the American veteran heard some boos before weighing in at 84,3 kg. Next, Belfort, who received a lot of applause, was just below, with 83,9 kg.
There were no scares in the second most important fight of the night either. Glover Teixeira and Patrick Cummins weighed 93,4 kg, within the light heavyweight division limit, and confirmed the duel. The miner, next to Belfort, Fabio Maldonado, Thomas almeida e Viscardi Andrade, was one of the most applauded athletes at the ceremony.
Despite the peaceful atmosphere among the fighters, one moment caught their attention. In the second fight of the event, Peter Munhoz “glued” his forehead to Jimmie rivera, who apparently felt offended by the move, turned his back and left the stage.
UFC FN 77 will start at 21pm official Brasília time. The main card will start at 1am, with the fight between Belfort and Henderson expected to start at 4am.
