UFC Vegas 26: Rodriguez vs. Waterson weigh-in stream (live 12 PM ET)
See what happens on the scales ahead of the latest offering from the UFC APEX.
This weekend the UFC gives us, after some uncertainty, a main event between Marina Rodriguez and Michelle Waterson. Both fighters head into this one, at the UFC APEX facility, knowing an impressive win could vault them into the crowded strawweight title picture.
Despite both women normally competing at 115 lbs, and the fight having implications in that division, this bout will be going down at flyweight—due to the short notice nature of this booking. Previously this weekend was supposed to host former UFC bantamweight champion TJ Dillishaw’s return to the cage, opposite Cody Sandhagen, but Dillashaw was forced to withdraw due to a nasty cut he sustained in training.
The card was also supposed to feature Diego Sanchez tangling with Donald Cerrone, but—unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past two weeks—you know what happened there.
Further down the card match-ups of note include Neil Magny vs. Geoff Neal and Amanda Ribas vs. Angela Hill. However, in order for any of these fights to happen, the combatants need to make weight. You can see how they fare in the live stream presented below.
