UFC 219 ceremonial weigh-ins highlight: It's good to see Khabib Nurmagomedov on stage

LAS VEGAS – UFC 219 ceremonial fighter weigh-ins took place today, and MMAjunkie was on the scene.

The weigh-ins went down at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The same venue hosts Saturday’s event, which has a main card on pay-per-view following prelims on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass.

In the co-main event, Khabib Nurmagomedov (24-0 MMA, 8-0 UFC) returns after 13 months away to meet Edson Barboza (19-4 MMA, 13-4 UFC) in a pivotal lightweight bout. Both fighters made weight earlier in the day at official weigh-ins, which was particularly great to see from Nurmagomedov, who was hospitalized after a bad weight-cut earlier this year that kept him out of the UFC 209 main event. It was great to see “The Eagle” on stage to stare down Barboza for the final time.
