The biggest event of the year could not have a weigh-in without different situations. And that's how the pre-UFC 217 event unfolded, with the three title fights showing a lot of intensity in the fights. In the main fight, the challenger Georges St Pierre mocked the champion's seriousness and provocations Michael Bisping, who got angry and even slapped the Canadian's hand, in addition to holding his opponent's fist, while UFC president, Dana White, tried, in vain, to stop the Englishman from touching his challenger.

In the third most important fight of the night, the two athletes competing for the strawweight title had one of the most intense confrontations in recent times. While the champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk provoked Rose namajunas with a finger on her face, the challenger just prayed, staring at her Polish opponent, with a face without any expression. After the face-off, both fighters kept their gaze fixed on each other while they were interviewed.
Now in the fight between the roosters and former teammates cody garbrandt e TJ Dillashaw, the meeting was also full of intensity. Former teammates, Cody and TJ had a confrontation full of provocations, with the “No Love” champion cursing his arch-rival, while the challenger TJ just smiled, ironically.
The Brazilians Ricardo Carcacinha e Paulo borrachinha had calm confrontations with their opponents, Aiemann Zahabi e John hendricks, respectively. Middleweight Borrachinha even tried a provocation in English about the former welterweight champion, who didn't take the bait and remained silent.
