Live Stream! UFC 253: Adesanya vs. Costa weigh in video and results
See what happens on the scales for UFC 253.
The UFC is back on Yas Island this weekend with the UFC 253 PPV card which boasts two title fights. The main event is the long awaited clash between UFC middleweight king Israel Adesanya and challenger Paulo Costa. The co-main sees Dominick Reyes and Jan Blachowicz battle it out for the vacant UFC light heavyweight title.
With two titles on the line that means four fighters will need to weigh in at exactly their weight limit or below. There will be no one pound allowances for them. So, with that in mind, there may be some nuttiness on the scales today.
You can watch all the action below, beginning at 9 a.m. ET, in video courtesy of our friends at MMA Fighting:
There will be no ceremonial weigh ins for this event (or any other for a very long time).
