Lewis, Hendricks make weight for UFC Halifax
UFC Fight Night 105 is officially a go.
All but one of the 22 fighters competing on Sunday's card in Halifax, Nova Scotia made weight at Saturday's official weigh-ins, with heavyweight headliners Derrick Lewis and Travis Browne tipping the scales at 262 and 241 pounds, respectively.
Former welterweight champion Johny Hendricks made the middleweight limit ahead of his divisional debut against Hector Lombard. "Bigg Rigg" had failed to make the 171-pound limit for his previous two fights, but his luck appears to have taken a turn for the better, as he weighed in at 185.5 pounds Saturday morning. Lombard came in well under the middleweight limit, tipping the scales at 182 pounds.
Short-notice newcomer Gina Mazany was the card's sole fighter to miss weight. Mazany was tapped to fight Sara McMann in Liz Carmouche's stead just over two weeks ago, and came in three-and-a-half pounds over the bantamweight limit. As is customary, she'll forfeit 20 percent of her purse to McMann, and the bout will proceed as scheduled.
