UFC on ESPN 58 weigh-in results: Ranked flyweight misses mark by 3.5 pounds, fight scrapped

LAS VEGAS – MMA Junkie was on scene and reporting live from Friday’s official UFC on ESPN 58 (ESPN/ESPN2/ESPN+) fighter weigh-ins at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas.

Among those weighing in were former title challenger Alex Perez (25-8 MMA, 7-4 UFC) and unbeaten Tatsuro Taira (15-0 MMA, 5-0 UFC), who meet in the flyweight main event, and Miles Johns (14-2 MMA, 5-2 UFC) and Douglas Silva de Andrade (29-5 MMA, 7-5 UFC), who fight in the bantamweight co-feature.

All four of the main and co-main event fighters were on point, but it was ranked flyweight Tagir Ulanbekov who was the lone blemish of the session. Ulanbekov was 3.5 pounds over the non-title divisional limit for his featured prelim matchup with Joshua Van. Subsequently, the fight was scrapped from the lineup.
