- Sean Strickland: Weighed in at 185 pounds with no problems.
- The opening flyweight bout between Andre Lima and Mitch Raposo has a slight change. Lima missed the 125-pound flyweight limit, coming in at 130 pounds. As a result, the fight will be contested at a catchweight (weight agreed upon by both fighters that doesn't fit a specific weight class). Raposo weighed in at the flyweight limit of 125 pounds. Lima will be fined 30% of his purse for missing weight.
- The official weigh-ins took place at the UFC host hotel in Jersey City.
- A ceremonial weigh-in for fans will happen later today at 5 p.m. ET at the Prudential Center in Newark, where the fight takes place on Saturday (pay-per-view, ESPN2, ESPN+).
