UFC Fight Night 239 Weigh-in Results: 3 Fighters Heavy

The Ultimate Fighting Championship‘s busy March continues with a return to the UFC Apex.

Headlining UFC Fight Night 239 is an intriguing heavyweight fight between the hard-hitting Tai Tuivasa and Poland’s Marcin Tybura. The Australian will be the larger fighter in the cage as he weighs 18.5 pounds more than “Tybur.” As for the rest of the card, three fighters came in overweight: Natan Levy (.5 pounds), Chelsea Chandler (1 pound) and Danny Silva (2.5 pounds). All three will be fined percentages of their respective purses.

A fan-favorite in the Octagon, Tuivasa (14-6) is looking to boune back from a three-fight losing streak. While “Bam Bam” has struggled recently, it has been to the top of the division as his losses came to Ciryl Gane, Sergei Pavlovich and Alexander Volkov. The 30-year-old holds key wins over the likes of Andrei Arlovski, Derrick Lewis and Stefan Struve. The Aussie officially weighed 265.5 pounds for his third UFC main event.

Polish heavyweight Tybura (24-8) is also looking to get back in the win column after losing to Tom Aspinall in his last outing. Prior to the defeat, “Tybur” had put together decision wins over Blagoy Ivanov and Alexander Romanov. This marks the second straight UFC main event for Tybura, who will hope this one goes better for him. The 38-year-old stepped on the scale at 247 pounds.
