The lineups have changed slightly after Wednesday’s weigh-ins, when
Magomed
Umalatov checked in for his first-round matchup with Logan
Storley (171) at 173.6 pounds — more than two pounds over the
welterweight limit. As a result, Umalatov will be replaced by
Joseph
Luciano, who tipped the scales at 170.4 pounds. Everyone else
on the card hit their contracted marks without issue.
