All Fourteen Fighters Officially Make Weight For UFC Freedom 250
Saturday morning, live from Washington, D.C., the official weigh-ins for UFC Freedom 250 took place ahead of Sunday evening’s monumental event at the White House.
In the main event from the South Lawn, Ilia Topuria is set to defend his lightweight title against Justin Gaethje, who secured interim championship status with his unanimous decision victory over Paddy Pimblett earlier this year. In the co-feature, Alex Pereira will make his heavyweight debut as he seeks to capture gold in a third division when he meets Ciryl Gane for the interim belt.
Earlier in the week, Alex Pereira estimated that he would come in at 251-pounds for his heavyweight debut, and that’s exactly what the scale read when the former middleweight and light heavyweight champion stepped forward. Meanwhile, his opponent Ciryl Gane, who is a much more natural and seasoned heavyweight, came in three pounds lighter at 248.
