UFC Fight Night 221 Weigh-in Results: 2 Fighters Miss Badly; 1 Bout Nixed


Ultimate Fighting Championship featherweight Ricardo Ramos seems to have forgotten his weight class.

Headlining UFC Fight Night 221 is a top contender match between former 135-pound titleholder Petr Yan and the surging Merab Dvalishvili. Both main event fighters made weight for their five-round affair, although a few members of the undercard weren't entirely as professional.

Notably, Ramos and Jared Gooden checked in nowhere close to their weight limits for their respective fights. Ramos came in eight pounds overweight at 154 pounds for his featherweight scrap against Austin Lingo. Meanwhile, late replacement Gooden hit the scales at 177 pounds for his welterweight fight against Carlston Harris, or six pounds above the non-title cap. Ramos vs. Lingo has since been canceled, but Gooden-Harris will continue with Gooden receiving a hefty 30% purse fine.

Yan (16-4) is looking to bounce back after two straight split decision defeats that each sparked varying degrees of controversy. "No Mercy" will aim to show he still has plenty left in the tank after losing to Aljamain Sterling for a second time, and to Sean O'Malley in a back-and-forth battle. The Russian ex-champ officially weighed 136 pounds on the dot.

Riding an impressive eight-fight win streak, Dvalishvili (15-4) has ample momentum going into the biggest fight of his career. The Serra-Longo Fight Team product most recently won a decision over Jose Aldo and knocked out Marlon Moraes. "The Machine" will look to live up to his nickname and earn a title shot with his grueling pace. The Georgian came in at 134.5 pounds.

UFC Fight Night 221 will stream live in its entirety on ESPN+ on Saturday. For now, prelims begin at 3 p.m. ET/noon PT, while the main card kicks off at 6 p.m. ET/3 p.m. PT.
