WSOF 28 Weigh-in Results: Marlon Moraes OK’d for Title Defense Opposite Joseph Barajas

Perhaps the brightest star in the World Series of Fighting sky, Marlon Moraes has been called upon to shoulder another marquee for the Las Vegas-based promotion.

Moraes checked in at 134.8 pounds, as he prepares to defend his bantamweight championship against the once-beaten Joseph Barajas (134.8) in the WSOF 28 main event on Saturday at the Next Level Sports Complex in Garden Grove, California. Bantamweight co-headliners Timur Valiev (136) and Chris Gutierrez (136) also hit their intended marks at Friday’s official weigh-in.

WSOF 28 “Moraes vs. Barajas” -- which airs live on the NBC Sports Network at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT -- will also feature a pair of welterweight battles, as “The Ultimate Fighter” Season 11 quarterfinalist Jamie Yager (171) meets Daniel McWilliams (169) and Kings MMA export Ozzie Alvarez (169.6) faces Andrew Ramm (170).

Sherdog.com will stream the five-fight undercard at 6:45 p.m. ET/3:45 p.m. PT.
