UFC Des Moines Weigh-in Results: All Fighters Make Weight

The Ultimate Fighting Championship‘s return to Iowa is now official after the UFC Des Moines weigh-ins took place.

The main event of UFC on ESPN 67 is now official. Bantamweight contenders Cory Sandhagen and Deiveson Figueiredo both made weight for the five-round fight. The rest of the 12-fight card also made weight, although Julianna Miller needed two attempts to hit the flyweight mark.

The always exciting Sandhagen (17-5) is looking to rebound after a loss to Umar Nurmagomedov snapped a three-fight win streak. “Sandman” was on the verge of a title shot following wins over Rob Font, Marlon Vera and Yadong Song. However, the 33-year-old will need to put together another streak if he hopes to get a shot at gold. The American officially weighed 135.5 pounds for the headline bout.

Figueiredo (24-4-1) is also coming off a defeat as he was outpointed by Petr Yan in his last outing. The former flyweight king was also on a three-fight win streak as he dispatched Marlon Vera, Cody Garbrandt and Font. “Daico” is 37, so his window is closing if he wants to possibly become a two-weight champion. The Brazilian weighed 135 pounds on the dot for this pivotal fight.

UFC Des Moines will air live on ESPN+ and ESPN2 in its entirety. Prelims begin at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT, while the main card kicks off at 10 p.m. ET/7 p.m. PT.
