Chelsea
Chandler just cannot seem to find the bantamweight limit.
After back-to-back weeks overseas, the
Ultimate Fighting Championship returns to Las Vegas for
UFC on ESPN 61. The 10-fight card will be headlined by a
heavyweight fight between Marcin
Tybura and Serghei
Spivac. Tybura will be the larger man inside the cage, weighing
in 14 pounds heavier than Spivac.

While both heavyweights comfortably made weight, three other
fighters on the card did not. Most notable was co-main event
competitor Jose
Mariscal, who came in 3.5 pounds over the featherweight limit
for his bout against Damon
Jackson. That wasn’t even the biggest miss, though, as Chelsea
Chandler came in five pounds over the bantamweight limit for
her fight against Yana Santos,
with this being her second time missing weight in the organization.
Additionally, Danny
Barlow came in a quarter of a pound over the welterweight
limit. All fighters will be fined a percentage of their purses but
will otherwise continue as scheduled.
Tybura (25-8) enters his third-straight headliner coming off a
submission win over Tai
Tuivasa. That win got „Tybur“ back into the win column, as he
had lost to Tom
Aspinall previously. Meanwhile, Spivac (16-4) most recently
lost to Ciryl Gane.
Prior to the loss, „The Polar Bear“ had won three straight against
Derrick
Lewis, Augusto
Sakai and Greg
Hardy.
The UFC on ESPN 61 main card will air on ESPN and ESPN+ at 7 p.m.
ET/4 p.m. PT on Saturday. Prelims begin at 5 p.m. ET/2 p.m. PT on
the same platforms.
