UFC Fight Night 95 official weigh-in results: 'Cyborg' uses the extra pound, but headliner set


BRASILIA, Brazil – MMAjunkie was on scene and reporting live from today’s official (early) UFC Fight Night 95 fighter weigh-ins, and after much discussion earlier in the week, headliners Cristiane Justino (16-1 MMA, 1-0 UFC) and Lina Lansberg (6-1 MMA, 0-0 UFC) made weight without issue.

The early weigh-ins, which precede this afternoon’s ceremonial affair, took place at the Windsor Plaza Brasilia Brasilia, Brazil. The ceremonial weigh-ins take place at 6 p.m. ET at Nilson Nelson Gymnasium in Brasilia, the same venue that hosts Saturday’s event, which airs on FS1 following early prelims on UFC Fight Pass.

UFC officials recently adopted the early weigh-ins to allow fighters more time to rehydrate before the event.

In addition to the official results below, you can watch a live video stream of the ceremonial weigh-ins here on MMAjunkie at 6 p.m. ET.

A 140-pound fight between Justino and Lansberg headlines the card. “Cyborg” utilized the one-pound allowance she was contractually awarded, registering 141 pounds. Lansberg came in right on the mark at 140.

In the co-main event, former bantamweight champ Renan Barao (33-4 MMA, 8-3 UFC) meets Phillipe Nover (11-6-1 MMA, 1-4 UFC) in a featherweight bout.
