UFC Auckland: Weigh-In Results

By on June 10, 2017

The weigh-in is complete and the stage is set for an exciting set of fights at UFC Auckland tomorrow when #6 Derrick ‘The Black Beast’ Lewis squares off against #7 Mark ‘The Super Samoan’ Hunt in a five round heavyweight battle in the main event.

Both known for their explosive punching power, Hunt and Lewis tipped the scales at 265 pounds (120kg). Given the time between the early weigh-ins on Friday night and the fight time of Sunday afternoon, both fighters could very well come into the cage weighing considerably more.

A rousing reception was given to local hometown hero Dan ‘The Hangman’ Hooker who moves up to lightweight for the first time in his UFC career when he takes on the experienced Ross ‘The Real Deal’ Pearson. Both fighters weighed in at 156lb (50.7kg) and 155lb (70.3kg) respectively.

South Korean fighter Chan Mi Jeon, who came in as a late replacement for UFC newcomer Nadia Kassem, weighed in two pounds over the strawweight limit. 20% of her ‘show money’ will be given to her opponent, J.J Aldrich.
