LAS VEGAS – MMA Junkie was on scene and reporting live from Friday’s official UFC Fight Night 236 (ESPN+) fighter weigh-ins, where one fighter missed his mark on the scale.
But the headliners had no issue and were first out of the chute. Jack Hermansson (23-8 MMA, 10-6 UFC) and Joe Pyfer (12-2 MMA, 3-0 UFC), who meet in the middleweight main event. Hermansson was first to weight in and was 185 pounds. Pyfer was right behind him and was 185.5.
In the featherweight co-feature, Andre Fili (23-10 MMA, 11-9 UFC) and Dan Ige (17-7 MMA, 9-6 UFC) each were 146 pounds.
Only Ihor Potieria (20-5 MMA, 1-3 UFC) missed the mark for his middleweight fight against Robert Bryczek (17-5 MMA, 0-0 UFC), which he took on short notice and down 20 pounds from his typical light heavyweight division. He was 187.5 on his first attempt, and the commission did not allow him the opportunity to cut additional weight based on his appearance. He’ll be fined a percentage of his purse.
