UFC on ESPN 52 weigh-in results: Everyone makes weight – including Jalin Turner on short notice

AUSTIN, Texas – MMA Junkie was scene and reporting live from Friday’s official UFC on ESPN 52 fighter weigh-ins.

The early weigh-ins took place at the UFC host hotel in Austin, Texas, and precede the ceremonial weigh-ins for the fans, which take place at 5 p.m. ET at Moody Center. The same venue hosts Saturday’s event, which has a main card on ESPN following prelims on ESPN+.

Among those weighing in were Beneil Dariush (22-5-1 MMA, 16-5-1 UFC) and Arman Tsarukyan (20-3 MMA, 7-2 UFC), who meet in the lightweight main event. Bobby Green (31-14-1 MMA, 12-9-1 UFC) takes on short-notice opponent Jalin Turner (13-7 MMA, 6-4 UFC) in the lightweight co-feature.

Plus, former flyweight champion Deiveson Figueiredo (21-3-1 MMA, 10-6 UFC) moves to bantamweight to fight Rob Font (20-7 MMA, 10-3-1 UFC), and former women’s bantamweight champ Miesha Tate (20-9 MMA, 6-6 UFC) takes on Julia Avila (9-2 MMA, 3-1 UFC).
