ESPN app. Fighters were in and out on Friday for the weigh-ins, with
all 24 competitors hitting the scales and making weight in under an
hour.
A lengthy stretch of
Ultimate Fighting Championship events comes to an end with
UFC Fight Night 198. Every fighter on the card made weight in a
drama-free weigh-in ceremony, which has become a rarity as of late.
Headliners Ketlen
Vieira and Miesha Tate
both hit the bantamweight limit without trouble, and their
five-round bout is official for Saturday.
Vieira (11-2) is looking to bounce back from a loss to Yana
Kunitskaya, and is 1-2 in her last three bouts. She previously
lost to Irene
Aldana and picked up a win over Sijara
Eubanks in between. The Brazilian officially weighed 136 pounds
for her first UFC main event.
After impressing in her comeback bout against Marion
Reneau, Tate (19-7) is aiming to return to title contention. “Cupcake” will look to put away Vieira in impressive fashion in
this showcase bout. The former champ officially stepped on the
scale at 135.5 pounds.
UFC Fight Night 198 will air live on ESPN+ for its entirety.
Prelims begin at 3 p.m. ET/12 a.m. PT and the main card kicks off
at 6 p.m. ET/3 p.m. PT.
