UFC 290 Weigh-in Results: 2 Title Fights Set; 1 Fighter Heavy

The UFC 290 pay-per-view card is set with two title fights now official after the weigh-ins took place.

Headlining the anticipated 14-fight card is a featherweight title unification battle between Alexander Volkanovski and interim champion Yair Rodriguez. Both men successfully made weight, as the Australian weighed 144.5 pounds, and Rodriguez came in at 145 pounds on the dot. Meanwhile, the co-main event is also official as Brandon Moreno looks to defend his flyweight belt against Alexandre Pantoja. Both men weighed exactly 125 pounds. All other fighters on the card made weight except for Jalin Turner (158), who checked in two pounds over the lightweight limit for his fight against Dan Hooker and has been fined 20% of his purse.

Volkanovski (25-2) is coming off his first defeat since 2013 as he came up a hair short in his bid to become a two-weight champion against lightweight kingpin Islam Makhachev. Dropping back to featherweight, "The Great" will look to show that he's still a dominant champion that hasn't lost a step. The 34-year-old is undefeated at 145 pounds.

There's plenty of momentum behind Rodriguez (15-3, 1 NC), who claimed the interim title by choking out Josh Emmett. Prior to the title win, "El Pantera" prevailed over Brian Ortega when "T-City" suffered a shoulder injury. Rodriguez has been a top contender since 2018, and his only setback was a five-round decision defeat to Max Holloway.
