The
UFC Fight Night 240 weigh-ins were a bit of a catastrophe, as
four competitors missed the mark by multiple pounds.

The
Ultimate Fighting Championship kicks off its busy April with a
card that officially has 12 bouts on the billing, for now.
Headlining the event is an intriguing middleweight rematch between
Brendan
Allen and Chris
Curtis. Both contenders stepped on the scale weighing 186
pounds on the dot. Several combatants failed to hit their proper
marks as four fighters missed weight: Alexander
Hernandez, Cynthia
Calvillo and would-be bantamweight opponents Nora
Cornolle and Melissa
Dixon. All four fighters exceeded their respective weight limit
by at least two pounds, and Calvillo vs. Piera
Rodriguez has been canceled by the promotion.

„The Action Man“ returns to the Octagon after defeating Marc-Andre
Barriault earlier this year via split decision. This marks the
first headlining UFC bout for Curtis (31-10, 1 NC). The Xtreme
Couture product is looking to pick up a second win over Allen, who
he picked up a TKO win over in 2021.

Since the defeat to Curtis, Allen (23-5) has won six straight
fights. „All In“ most recently submitted Paul Craig,
Bruno
Silva, Andre Muniz
and Krzysztof
Jotko with rear-naked chokes. The Kill Cliff FC fighter is just
28 and is 2-0 in UFC main event slots.

UFC Fight Night 240 will stream live in its entirety on ESPN+ on
Saturday. Prelims begin at 3 p.m. ET/12 p.m. PT and the main card
starts at 6 p.m. ET/3 p.m. PT.
