UFC 284 Weigh-in Results: 2 Title Fights Set; 2 Fighters Heavy

The Ultimate Fighting Championship heads down under with two title fights atop UFC 284.

First on the scale was UFC featherweight titleholder Alexander Volkanovski, who is moving up in weight to take on Islam Makhachev for the lightweight championship. Both champs made weight, as well as interim featherweight challengers Yair Rodriguez and Josh Emmett, who will look to become the next fight for "Alexander the Great."

Elsewhere on the card, two prelim fighters missed weight. Kleydson Rodrigues came in one pound overweight at 127 pounds for his flyweight bout against Shannon Ross, and has been fined 20 percent of his purse. Additionally, Zubaira Tukhugov hit the scales at 157.5 pounds ahead of his lightweight contest against Elves Brener Oliveira, and has been fined a percentage of his purse.

Having defeated Charles Oliveira via arm-triangle choke in his last outing to claim UFC gold, Makhachev (23-1) is on a roll. The Dagestani fighter has won 11 fights in a row since losing to Adriano Martins in 2015. Besides the title win, the protégé of Khabib Nurmagomedov has also defeated contenders such as Bobby Green, Dan Hooker, Thiago Moises and Drew Dober. Makhachev officially weighed 155 pounds on the dot for the superfight.

Looking to become a two-division champion is Volkanovski (25-1), who has established himself as a dominant featherweight king. Since dethroning Max Holloway in 2019, the Australian has topped "Blessed" twice more in impressive fashion, in addition to beating Brian Ortega and Chan Sung Jung. Ready for what most expect to be the toughest test in his career, Volkanovski weighed 154.5 pounds.
