LAS VEGAS – MMA Junkie was on scene and reporting live from Friday’s UFC Fight Night 219 weigh-ins, where all 22 fighters on the card hit their marks.
In the main event, former women’s strawweight champion Jessica Andrade (24-9 MMA, 15-7 UFC) will step up on just a week’s notice to fight Erin Blanchfield (10-1 MMA, 4-0 UFC) at flyweight. Andrade took the fight when Blanchfield’s original opponent, Taila Santos, pulled out with visa issues.
Blanchfield was the first fighter to the scale in the two-hour weigh-in window and was 125.5 pounds. Andrade was right behind her and was 124 to make the fight official.
