UFC Vegas 29 weigh-in results

The Ultimate Fighting Championship is back in their Las Vegas headquarters for tomorrow’s UFC Vegas 29 event. The card is headlined by a battle of ranked featherweights as uber-popular Korean star Chan Sung Jung returns to the Octagon to face Hawaiian tough guy Dan Ige. The show, which emanates from inside the UFC Apex, also features several name talents and fan favorites in Aleksei Oleinik, Marlon Vera, and Matt Brown.

However, before any bout can get the official thumbs up from the state athletic commission, the 24 fighters on the card had to hit their marks on the scales. Fortunately, no fighters missed weight (a common occurrence for most UFC cards nowadays), and all 12 bouts are good to go. You can find all the final scale stats below.

The ‘Zombie’ returns

A Chan Sung Jung fight is always one to watch. Especially, if the fourth-ranked featherweight has a willing and able dance partner on fight night. Eighth-ranked Dan Ige is just that. “50K” epitomizes the Hawaiian fighting spirit. In 18 fights, he has never been finished and it’s not from a lack of mixing it up. Although the 29-year-old is technically sound, he’s not a points fighter looking to stick and move. This booking has tons of potential to be a wild melee that does not last long.

UFC Vegas 29: Scraps worth your time

• Matt Brown vs. Dhiego Lima – Like Sung, Matt Brown is worth the price of admission every time. If “The Immortal” is on a card, his fight is likely to include a finish–even if it’s his own night ending early–and some blood-letting. Dheigo Lima lacks a marquee win that reverberates with fans. Putting Brown’s fan-favorite pelt on his wall, even at 40-years-old, is a win that would put him on fans’ radar more than ever before.
• Aleksei Oleinik vs. Sergey Spivak – Aleksei Oleinik versus Sergey Spivak is a classic battle of age against youth. Over 75 fights and in his fourth decade in the sport, “The Boa Constrictor” has been the ultimate stalwart at the top levels of heavyweight MMA. However, at 43, and with four knockout losses in his last six, this Russian bear may be at the end of his UFC run. “The Polar Bear” has a monumental opportunity to earn the most noteworthy win of his career, and possibly getting to say he brought an end to Oleinik’s memorable Octagon career.
