While the card is official, two fighters came in heavy at Friday’s UFC Prague (UFC Fight Night 145) weigh-ins ahead of Saturday’s ESPN+ event.
The UFC was set to make its debut in the Czech Republic on Saturday, touching down in historic Prague. No defenestration here, just plenty of action planned for the octagon. In the main event, light heavyweights Jan Blachowicz and Thiago Santos faced off. In a thin 205lb division, with Anthony Smith challenging Jon Jones for the title just a week later, the winner could be in the hunt for a title shot.
Also on the card, towering heavyweight Stefan Struve looked to get back on track against Brazil’s Marcos Rogerio de Lima, while Gillian Robertson sought out her third win at flyweight.
Two fighters came in heavy on Friday as fighters stepped on the scales: light heavyweight Klidson Abreu was three pounds heavy for the non-title fight limit. And Diego Ferreira was a pound over the non-title fight limit at lightweight. Both fighter will be fined 20% of their purses, and the action will go forward as planned.
