UPDATED UFC Fight Night 214 Weigh-ins: Headliners Cleared; 4 Fighters Come in Heavy


Editor's note: The article was updated at 3:15 p.m. ET on Nov. 4 to reflect new weigh-in information.

UFC Fight Night 214 was nearly one the record books, but not in a good way.

While consummate professionals Marina Rodriguez and Amanda Lemos both weighed in on target in hopes of making a statement inside the Ultimate Fighting Championship's strawweight division, four other competitors on the bill could not say the same. The promotion has never before staged a fight card with five bouts that contained an athlete that could not make weight, and one of initially five heavy fighters made sure this fight card would not set that dubious record.

Ramona Pascual (137) missed weight by one pound for her match against Tamires Vidal (134). To make matters worse, Benito Lopez (138.5) and Carlos Candelario (128.5) each came in 2.5 pounds overweight for their contests against Mario Bautista (135.5) and Jake Hadley (126), respectively. Additionally, former featherweight Grant Dawson (157.5) weighed in 1.5 pounds above the lightweight limit before his pairing with Mark O. Madsen (155). Finally, Shanna Young (126) weighed in first at 127 pounds, only to chop off some hair and come back on weight within the hour allowance issued. The remainder will accept fines of 20% or higher and hope their matches will otherwise continue as scheduled.

This marks the third UFC main event in four fights for Rodriguez (16-1-2). The Brazilian has won four straight fights, and is looking to break into title contention with a victory. Most recently, Rodriguez picked up decision wins over Xiaonan Yan, Mackenzie Dern and Michelle Waterson-Gomez. The Brazilian officially weighed 115.5 pounds.

Meanwhile, Lemos (12-2-1) bounced back from a submission defeat to Jessica Andrade by tapping Waterson-Gomez with a guillotine choke earlier this year. "Amandinha" has won six of her last seven inside the UFC, and is on an impressive run that includes four finishes along the way. Lemos came in at 114.5 pounds for her second five-round fight to make the headliner official.

UFC Fight Night 214 airs entirely on ESPN+ on Saturday. Prelims begin at 4 p.m. ET/1 p.m. PT, while the main card kicks off at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT.
