The UFC kicks off its 2025 in the one spot no one really wanted to see them – back at the Apex, this time for UFC Vegas 101.

That said, the understated Fight Night card was more appetizer than main course, with UFC 311 arriving in just a week. And with fans starved for fights for a few weeks (with the exception of RIZIN and Oktagon MMA), even an Apex card was a welcome return.

In the main event, a rematch years in the making as Mackenzie Dern looked to win one back over Amanda Ribas.

Weigh-ins for this Saturday’s UFC Vegas 101 card took place on Friday, January 10, 2025. Full results can be found below.

Jose Johnson and Ihor Potieria missed weight towards the end of Friday’s window, for their flyweight and middleweight fights, respectively. The rest of the UFC Vegas 101 card weighed in successfully.
