UFC 294: ‘Makhachev vs. Volkanovski 2’ Weigh-in Results – 2 Fighters Miss Weight

UFC 294 takes place tomorrow, Saturday October 21st at the Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi.

Headlining the event is a lightweight title fight between current champion Islam Makhachev (24-1 MMA) and Alexander Volkanovski (26-2 MMA).

Volkanovski, 35, stepped up to take the rematch with Makhachev on just 10 days notice, after Charles Oliveira (34-9 MMA) pulled out of the fight because of an injury he incurred during a sparring session.

Originally Makhachev and ‘The Great’ met in February of this year at UFC 284, where it was Makhachev being victorious by unanimous decision.

The UFC 294 co-main event will feature Kamaru Usman (20-3 MMA) vs Khamzat Chimaev (12-0 MMA) in a middleweight bout.

Usman, 36, took the fight with Chimaev on short notice as well, after Paulo Costa (14-2 MMA) pulled out of the fight after being hospitalized with a serious staff infection in his elbow.

‘The Nigerian Nightmare’ will be looking to hand Chimaev his first loss in the Octagon.

The early weigh-ins took place today at the UFC host hotel in Abu Dhabi.
