Contrary to what happens in most Ultimate events, UFC Japan did not have a ceremonial weigh-in, where the athletes face each other in front of the public, already rehydrated after the official weigh-in. Thus, the last face-off before this Friday's show (22) occurred right after the fighters officially weighed in. The four Brazilian representatives on the card had no problems confirming their fights.

Only one fighter didn't make weight for this Friday's event. Hizuto Mirota, from Japan, almost missed the weigh-in window and arrived at the scale looking dizzy. He weighed 68 kg, almost two kilos above the featherweight limit – his opponent, Charles Rosa, managed to reach the weight, with 65,9 kg.
