Gilbert Burns successfully handled his business on the scale Friday, paving the way for his main event challenge.
At the official weigh-ins for UFC Vegas 106 held in Las Vegas, Burns registered a weight of 170 pounds for his welterweight clash against the undefeated Michael Morales. This highly anticipated bout serves as the main event for Saturday`s card at the UFC APEX.
His opponent, Michael Morales, came in slightly heavier at 170.5 pounds. This weight is still within the allowable limit for a non-title welterweight contest.
In the evening`s co-main event, light heavyweights Paul Craig and Rodolfo Bellato also made weight successfully, with Craig weighing 205 pounds and Bellato at 205.5 pounds.
A total of twenty-four fighters hit the scale Friday morning, and all of them successfully made their contracted weights. This group included Sodiq Yusuff and Mairon Santos, both of whom are moving up a division from featherweight to compete at lightweight for this event, as well as Julian Erosa and Melquizael Costa, the main card openers who are stepping into the Octagon on quick turnarounds.
