Everyone made weight on their first attempt except Jonny Parsons, who missed the welterweight limit by one pound. He was given an additional hour to make weight and successfully hit the mark on his second attempt.
The early weigh-ins took place at the UFC host hotel in London and precede the ceremonial weigh-ins for the fans, which take place at noon ET at The O2 in London. The same venue hosts Saturday’s event, which streams on ESPN+.
