UFC 294 Weigh-in Results: 2 Fighters Heavy



After a rocky build that saw late changes to the main and co-main
event, the
UFC 294
card is finally set.

The main event will see
Ultimate Fighting Championship
featherweight champion Alexander
Volkanovski
move up in weight to challenge Islam
Makhachev
for the lightweight belt on short notice. The
headliners had no trouble making weight, although the same couldn’t
be said for two preliminary participants. Victoria
Dudakova
and Mike
Breeden
came in heavy for their respective bouts, and both
fighters have been fined percentages of their respective purses.
Dudakova came in .6 pounds over the strawweight limit for her fight
against Jinh Yu
Frey
, while Breeden clocked in 3.5 pounds above the lightweight
cap for his bout against Anshul
Jubli
.

Makhachev (24-1) was supposed to rematch Charles
Oliveira
in the main event, but will instead face off against
another familiar face in Volkanovski (26-2). The pair faced off
earlier this year in February, where Makhachev took a closely
contested unanimous decision victory in a back-and-forth fight. “The Great” has since rebounded with a featherweight title defense
against Yair
Rodriguez
, while the Dagestani fighter hasn’t been in the cage
since. Makhachev came in at 155 pounds, while Volkanovski stepped
on the scale weighing 154.5 pounds.

UFC 294 prelims begin on Saturday at 10 a.m. ET/7 a.m. PT on ESPN+,
before the main card commences at 2 p.m. ET/11 a.m. PT on
pay-per-view.
