The Ultimate Fighting Championship's busy march through March continues with 13 fights on Saturday. UFC Fight Night 187 is headlined by a pair of 18-3 welterweight contenders, Leon Edwards and Belal Muhammad. The card is now official after the weigh-ins took place this morning, and every fighter eventually made weight.
Edwards is riding one of the more impressive active win streaks
inside the Octagon currently, having had his hand raised eight
straight times. Victories over Rafael dos
Anjos, Gunnar
Nelson and Donald
Cerrone have placed “Rocky” in a prime position for a title
shot if he gets past Muhammad. Despite being out of the ring since
July 2019, Edwards had little trouble making weight, and came in at
170.5 pounds.
“Remember the Name” will try to make sure that fans do just that with a victory over the top-ranked Edwards. Muhammad is riding a four-fight win streak, and has won eight of his last 10 bouts. Recent triumphs over Dhiego Lima and Lyman Good have cemented his place as a contender in the division. The Roufusport fighter stepped on the scales at 170 pounds on the dot for his first main event bout inside the UFC.
One fighter initially came in heavy: Ryan Spann (206.5), who weighed half a pound over the light heavyweight limit before facing Misha Cirkunov. Spann returned less than an hour later to successfully hit the 206-pound mark.
UFC Fight Night 187 will stream in its entirety on ESPN+. Prelim action will begin at 5 p.m. ET/2 p.m. PT, and the main card starts at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT.
