The lineups have changed slightly after Wednesday’s weigh-ins, when Magomed Umalatov checked in for his first-round matchup with Logan Storley (171) at 173.6 pounds — more than two pounds over the welterweight limit. As a result, Umalatov will be replaced by Joseph Luciano, who tipped the scales at 170.4 pounds. Everyone else on the card hit their contracted marks without issue.
