Headliners Ortega, Swanson make weight for UFC Fresno
UFC Fight Night 123 is good to go.
All 26 fighters competing on Saturday's bill at Save Mart Center in Fresno, Calif., came in on point at Friday's official weigh-ins, including featherweight headliners Cub Swanson and Brian Ortega, who tipped the scales at 146 and 144.8 pounds, respectively.
After seeing their flyweight tilt changed to bantamweight by the promotion and the California State Athletic Commission, Carls John de Tomas and newcomer Alex Perez hit the divisional mark without incident.
Only Andre Soukhamthath - who replaced Bryan Caraway to face Luke Sanders on short notice - needed to strip down and weigh in while shielded by a towel to make the bantamweight limit of 136 pounds.
