The UFC’s third trip to the French capital is a go following Friday morning’s early weigh-ins in Paris.
Both fighters in the featured attraction, a lightweight bout between former French Special Forces soldier Benoit Saint-Denis and Brazilian veteran Renato Moicano, successfully hit the non-title limit of 156-pounds on the scales early on Friday ahead of a bout that will likely land the victor in the top ten rankings in the shark-tank lightweight fold.
Similarly, the co-main event also saw both fighters weigh in without incident as both Nassourdine Imavov and Brendan Allen landed at 186-pounds.
Almost all of the 14-fight card saw little struggles on the scales, save for bantamweight fighter Ailin Perez who was visibly shaking on the scales as she missed weight by a half-pound for her bantamweight clash with Darya Zheleznyakova. The fight will proceed as planned, however Perez will forfeit 20 percent of her purse to her opponent.
