UFC Raleigh weigh-in results: The chase for heavyweight gold is set
Curtis Blaydes and Junior dos Santos continue the hunt for the heavyweight title following Friday’s UFC on ESPN+ 24 official weigh-in from Raleigh, NC.
A former champion, dos Santos is trying mightily to get back into the thick of title talks, while Blaydes is still searching for his first shot at championship gold. The winner of their UFC Raleigh main event showdown should take a big step in the right direction toward that goal.
Being heavyweights, neither man had an issue with the scale. Blaydes checked in at 248 pounds. The final fighter to the scale, dos Santos was his usual smiling self, as he weighed 247 pounds.
The fight card also features former UFC lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos, as he continues his quest for success in the welterweight division. He meets Michael Chiesa in the UFC on ESPN+ 24 co-main event after both easily made weight.
UFC on ESPN+ 24 takes place on Saturday at PNC Arena in Raleigh.
