As expected, the 26 fighters scheduled for UFC Lincoln made weight without any problems this Friday (24), in Nebraska in the United States. The athletes needed 1h19m to confirm the 13 fights scheduled for Saturday night (25). As there will be no official weigh-in, where the official face-offs take place, the fighters posed for photos 40 minutes after the end of the weigh-in.

UFC Lincoln: bet on Brazilian fights on the preliminary card

Justin gaethje and James Vick, who star in the main fight of the card, used the pound of tolerance allowed to athletes who are not competing for the belt. Both fighters weighed 70,8kg at lightweight.

In the first minutes of the weigh-in, 21 fighters passed the scale, including the six Brazilians who will participate in the event: Deiveson Figueiredo, Iuri Marajó, Warlley alves, Kalindra Faria, Markus Maluko and Rany Yahya. Perez, relieved to make weight, shouted, scaring everyone present.
