Abatido, Kevin Lee pediu a toalha, mas estourou 1,1kg. Tem uma hora para tentar cortar, mas precisa de aprovação da comissão atlética. #feedmma pic.twitter.com/kli8erda5T

The Ultimate Fighting Championship returns to Brazil this weekend for the first time in 2020, and after some drama, the headliner will still go on.

UFC Fight Night 170 is headlined by an intriguing lightweight clash between Kevin Lee and Charles Oliveira, but that is now in doubt as Lee initially missed the weigh-in window, but stepped on the scale in time. After a brief stint at welterweight, Lee (18-5) rebounded spectacularly in his return to lightweight. "The Motown Phenom" knocked out Gregor Gillespie with a head kick in less than three minutes at UFC 244. He’ll now look to go on his first win streak since 2017. Unfortunately for Lee, he missed weight by 2.5 pounds as he came in at 158.5.

Oliveira (28-8, 1 NC) is currently on the best stretch of his career as he has won his last six fights inside the UFC while finishing all six of those opponents. He most recently knocked out Jared Gordon and Nik Lentz. Prior to that, “Do Bronx” was on an impressive submission streak as he made David Teymur, Jim Miller, Christos Giagos and Clay Guida all tap out. The Brazilian looked prepared as he officially weighed 156 pounds.

UFC Fight Night 170 will air live on ESPN and ESPN+ in its entirety on Saturday, March 14. The preliminary action will start at 3 p.m. ET/12 p.m. PT and the main card will start at 6 p.m. ET/3 p.m. PT.
