NEW YORK – The fighters on Saturday’s blockbuster UFC 217 event have all made weight ahead of the promotion’s return to Madison Square Garden.
It was a drama-free event for the promotion, with all 24 fighters making weight for the card without issue.
Included in that mix is former welterweight champ Georges St-Pierre (25-2 MMA, 19-2 UFC), who returns from nearly four years away from the sport in order to headline UFC 217 and challenge middleweight champion Michael Bisping (30-7 MMA, 20-7 UFC).
In addition, bantamweight champ Cody Garbrandt (11-0 MMA, 6-0 UFC) meets ex-champ and former teammate T.J. Dillashaw (14-3 MMA, 10-3 UFC), and women’s strawweight champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk (14-0 MMA, 8-0 UFC) takes on Rose Namajunas (6-3 MMA, 4-2 UFC).
