The UFC brings yet another heavyweight main event to Las Vegas this weekend — this third this month.
At UFC Vegas 20, it will be contenders Jairzinho Rozenstruik and Ciryl Gane facing off. In a month that has already seen huge performances by Alexander Volkov and Derrick Lewis, there’s be plenty of pressure to produce fireworks for the main event pair. And while it’s unlikely that a title shot will result — Jon Jones, and perhaps Lewis, are arguably ahead in line — heavyweight MMA is an outlier in the sport, where one punch can change careers.
Also on the card, an interesting light heavyweight battle in the co-main event between Nikita Krylov and the rising Magomed Ankalaev, and (fingers crossed) bantamweight action between Pedro Munhoz and Jimmie Rivera.
Weigh-ins get underway Friday, February 26 at 12PM ET in Las Vegas. Check below for results.
Only one fighter missed weight Friday, as Maxim Grishin came in well over the light heavyweight limit. However, after Ramazan Kuramagomedov fell ill, his bout with Alex “Cowboy” Oliveira was removed from the card.
