All of those notables hit their respective marks, but one fighter on the prelims did not. Luana Carolina missed the women’s flyweight limit for the second time in her UFC tenure. She registered three pounds over the divisional limit for her bout vs. Julija Stoliarenko on her first attempt. She dropped an additional pound during an extended weigh-in window, and Stoliarenko agreed to take the fight.
