Several fighters ahead of the
Ultimate Fighting Championship
‘s return to Brazil appear to
have forgotten their weight classes.

UFC Fight Night 231
main event will see heavyweight prospect
Jailton
Almeida
take on former title challenger Derrick
Lewis
. Both men weighed under the limit, with Lewis coming in
29 pounds heavier than the 236-pound Brazilian. However, four
undercard fighters missed weight. Ismael
Bonfim
came in 3.5 pounds over the lightweight limit for his
fight against Vinc Pichel,
who also came in a pound heavy. Additionally, Victor
Hugo Silva
and Eduarda
Moura
both came in heavy for their respective bouts. All
fighters have been fined a percentage of their purses.

Almeida (19-2) is undefeated since entering the UFC. His first main
event opportunity saw him submit Jairzinho
Rozenstruik
with a rear-naked choke after just 3:43. Lewis
(27-11, 1 NC) is coming off a quick 33-second win over Marcos
Rogerio de Lima
that snapped a three-fight losing streak. “The
Black Beast” had rattled five wins in six fights prior to the rough
patch.
