Unlike the press conference that announced some of Ultimate's main fights in the coming months, the UFC 211 weigh-in, which took place shortly after the event, went without any major problems. All 24 athletes on the card made weight calmly and the encounters were, for the most part, filled with mutual respect.

In the main fight, Brazilian heavyweight junior gypsy will try to regain the category title by facing the current champion Stipe Miocic. The two have a good relationship outside the octagon and, despite their frowns at the time of the confrontation, they had a peaceful meeting, with handshakes and even friendly exchanges of words.

In the second most important duel of the night, however, there was a little more provocation. The strawweight champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk, who defends her title against the Brazilian Jessica Stacker, took a paper belt, with the words “fake belt”, as a kind of ironic gift for her opponent. In the face-off, the two exchanged provocations, but it stopped there.

Another Brazilian at the event, the Brazilian Demian Maia also left no room for the most provocative side of the opponent, the Cuban-American Jorge masvidal. Despite giving the cut throat sign during his weigh-in, “Gamebred” shook hands with Demian, who should be the next challenger for the welterweight title of Tyron woodley, if you win this Saturday.
