UFC on ESPN 11 weigh-in results: Blaydes vs. Volkov set, one fighter misses weight

UFC on ESPN 11, slated for Saturday at the Apex in Las Vegas, is set following Friday’s weigh-in.

The fight card is topped by a heavyweight showdown between No. 3 ranked Curtis Blaydes and No. 7 ranked Alexander Volkov. A win in this main event, especially of impressive fashion, should bump the victor into title contention. 

Champ Stipe Miocic will finish out his trilogy with Daniel Cormier in August, but the winner of this fight will be hoping to leap past Francis Ngannou to get the next title shot.

Volkov stepped on the scale at 247 pounds about midway through the two-hour weigh-in window. Blaydes, however, took his time  and weighed in the final portion of the weigh-in at 261 pounds, making their headlining bout official.

One fighter that looked like she might have trouble on the scale was Cortney Casey. She requested the hoop curtain to undress. She stood on the scale with her hands up and shaking, but made weight at 123.5 pounds for her flyweight bout with Gillian Robertson, who weighed 125.5 pounds.

The lone fighter to miss the mark was Frank Camacho. The final fighter to the scale, Camacho weighed 158 pounds for his lightweight bout with late replacement Justin Jaynes. Jaynes stepped in on just a couple days of notice for Matt Frevola, who was removed from the bout after one of his cornermen tested positive for COVID-19. Frevola was tested twice; both results were negative.

Camacho was two pounds over the 156-pound limit for a lightweight non-title bout.

UFC officials later confirmed that Jaynes agreed to the fight and would receive 20-percent of Camacho’s fight purse to keep the bout on the card.
