It’s all systems go for this weekend’s Ultimate Fighting Championship event, with every fighter on the card making weight and not a catchweight contest in sight.

The UFC returns to the ESPN airwaves on Saturday with a Las Vegas card headlined by Thiago Santos and Glover Teixeira. It’s a light heavyweight bout with potential title implications, although Israel Adesanya’s plan to climb to 205 may have thrown a wrench in that.

In his last bout, Santos (21-7) came painstakingly close to dethroning Jon Jones. While “Marreta” ultimately lost a split decision, he earned plenty of fans after his spirited performance. The Brazilian tore his ACL, MCL, PCL and meniscus in his left knee during the title fight, so he’s been out of action since July 2019. Santos looked good on the scales and officially came in at 205.5 pounds.

Many thought that Teixeira (31-7) would never be a top contender again after his 2018 loss to Corey Anderson. However, the 41-year-old fighter has rebounded with four straight wins including a five-round domination of Anthony Smith. Teixeira will look to keep his Cinderella story of another title opportunity alive on Saturday, and weighed 205.5 pounds.

The UFC on ESPN 17 preliminary card will stream live on ESPN+ at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT. The five-fight main card will simultaneously air on both ESPN2 and ESPN+ at 10 p.m. ET/7 p.m. PT, thus making the event “on ESPN” and not simply standard “Fight Night” fare.
