UFC Fight Night 223 Weigh-in Results: Dern vs. Hill Set; 2 Fighters Heavy



The
Ultimate Fighting Championship
continues its busy May with a
UFC Apex card headlined by two fan-favorite strawweight
fighters.


UFC Fight Night 223
will see Mackenzie
Dern
take on Angela Hill
in a five-round main event. Both women successfully made weight and
are familiar faces to fans. However, two undercard fighters missed
weight as both Vanessa
Demopoulos
and Orion Cosce
came in 1.5 pounds over their respective weight class limits.
Demopoulos came in at 117.5 pounds for her strawweight fight
against Karolina
Kowalkiewicz
, while Cosce came in at 172.5 for his welterweight
clash against Gilbert
Urbina
. They have each been fined 20% of their respective
purses, and the bouts will otherwise continue as scheduled.

Dern (12-3) will be looking to bounce back after a decision loss to
Xiaonan
Yan
over five rounds. Dern has come up short in both of her
main event opportunities prior, as she also lost a decision to
Marina
Rodriguez
. Sandwiched in between the two losses is a
split-decision victory over Tecia
Torres
. The acclaimed grappler officially came in at 115 pounds
on the dot.

Riding a two-fight win streak, Hill (15-12) will look to keep her
momentum going. “Overkill” most recently defeated Emily
Ducote
and Lupita
Godinez
, which snapped a three-fight losing streak. Hill also
lost her only UFC main event to date as she came up short against
Michelle
Waterson-Gomez
in 2020. The 38-year-old officially weighed
114.5 pounds.

UFC Fight Night 223 will stream on ESPN+ in its entirety on
Saturday. Prelims begin at 4 p.m. ET/1 p.m. PT, while the main card
starts at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT.
