The weigh-ins for UFC Vegas 104 have concluded, setting the stage for an exciting night of fights at the UFC Apex on Saturday. The middleweight main event between Marvin Vettori and Roman Dolidze is officially on, with both fighters hitting the scale at 186 pounds, utilizing the extra pound allowance for non-title bouts.
Vettori is set to return to action for the first time since 2023, hoping to reassert his dominance in the division. Dolidze looks to secure a defining victory that could propel him closer to title contention. With both men making weight, the highly anticipated showdown is all set to headline the event.
However, the weigh-in process didn’t go smoothly for everyone. The co-main event faced an issue as Chidi Njokuani failed to make the welterweight limit, coming in at 172.25 pounds. His opponent, Elizeu Zaleski, successfully weighed in at 171 pounds. This weight miss could lead to a penalty for Njokuani, typically resulting in a percentage of his fight purse being forfeited.
Another major miss came in the light heavyweight division, where Diyar Nurgozhay tipped the scales at a staggering 210.5 pounds—well above the division’s 205-pound limit. His opponent, Brendson Ribeiro, made weight at 205.5 pounds. Whether the fight will proceed and under what conditions remains to be seen.
On the preliminary card, bantamweight fighter Josias Musasa also came in heavy for his scheduled fight against Carlos Vera. Musasa weighed 136.5 pounds, slightly exceeding the limit for the division.
Despite the weigh-in setbacks, the rest of the fighters successfully made weight, including Alexander Hernandez, Da’Mon Blackshear, and Seung Woo Choi on the main card. The preliminary lineup also saw fighters like Waldo Cortes-Acosta, Ryan Spann, and Priscila Cachoeira making weight without issue.
With the scale drama behind them, the fighters shift their focus to fight night. UFC Vegas 104 promises high-stakes action, and fans can expect live results and video highlights as the event unfolds.
