Weigh-in day is usually an easy morning for heavyweight athletes and both Tom Aspinall and Curtis Blaydes leisurely stepped on the scale on weight only five pounds apart heading into their interim title fight in the co-main event.

Aspinall weighed 251 pounds, the exact weight he was for his first fight with Blaydes two years ago that ended after just 15 seconds when Aspinall suffered a fluke knee injury.

Blaydes stepped on the scale at 256 pounds, which is the lightest he has been before a fight since 2020.

All 10 main card competitors made weight and all but one fighter on the preliminary card also made weight on their first attempt.

Jake Hadley came in at 137 pounds, one pound over the non-title bantamweight limit. His opponent, Caolan Loughran, made 136 pounds. The miss is somewhat unexpected considering Hadley typically competes in the 125-pound flyweight division, however he did accept this matchup on short notice after Loughran’s original opponent, Ramon Tavares, withdrew due to injury only last week.

Hadley will be fined 20 per cent of his purse but the fight will proceed at a catchweight.

Saturday’s event takes place in Manchester, England yet the fights on Saturday have been catered to a North American audience so the main card will take place in the middle of the night for fighters and locals in attendance.
