The UFC Vegas 44 weigh-ins took place today (Dec. 3) from inside the same venue as Saturday’s card, the UFC APEX. In total, 30 fighters took to the scales in Las Vegas, Nev. to make their matchups for tomorrow night official. All of them met their responsibilities and the 15 fight card will go ahead as scheduled.
The event is headlined by a major matchup in the bantamweight division, with future contender implications, when former featherweight king Jose Aldo takes on surging New England talent Rob Font. The winner of this battle between the fourth and sixth-ranked fighters on the MixedMartialArts.com UFC bantamweight rankings could very well find themselves in a title fight next, or a contender eliminator bout with two-time division champion TJ Dillashaw.
The card also features Octagon stalwarts and action fighters in Rafael Fiziev, Clay Guida, Mickey Gall, Maki Pitolo, Manel Kape, and Bryan Barberena.
UFC Vegas 44 kicks off with preliminary action at 7 pm ET and is then followed by the main card at 10 pm ET. The entire event will be simulcast on ESPN and streaming service ESPN+.
