UFC Beijing weigh in results: Rashad Coulter comes in heavy
The fighters have hit the scales for the UFC’s return to China and all but one of them hit the mark and are ready to go.
The main and co-main event both feature the big men as at the top bill we get a big-time rematch between the contenders, Curtis “Razor” Blaydes and Francis “The Predator” Ngannou. In the fight directly before it, we’ll see Alistair Overeem look to snap his two-fight losing streak against the promotional newcomer, the undefeated former Fight Nights Global champion, Sergey Pavlovich.
Every fighter made right on weight with the exception of Rashad Coulter who is making his light heavyweight return after going 0-3 at heavyweight in the UFC.
