UFC Fight Night 128 weigh-ins video highlights, photos: 11 fights total after eventful morning

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. – MMAjunkie was on scene and reporting live from today’s early and official UFC Fight Night 128 fighter weigh-ins, where a main-event fighter came in heavy and two fights were lost.

The original headliner between Kevin Lee (16-3 MMA, 9-3 UFC) and Edson Barboza (19-5 MMA, 13-5 UFC) will go on, despite the fact that “The Motown Phenom” tipped the scale one pound heavy at 157.

Lost from the card was a women’s bantamweight bout between Aspen Ladd (6-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC) and Leslie Smith (10-7-1 MMA, 4-3 UFC). Ladd was above the 136 limit, and Leslie opted not to fight on after a deal she liked couldn’t be worked out. Additionally, it was discovered during the weigh-ins that Magomed Bibulatov (14-1 MMA, 1-1 UFC) was ruled out of his flyweight fight against Ulka Sasaki (20-5-2 MMA, 3-4 UFC) due to an injury.

The early weigh-ins took place at the UFC host hotel in Atlantic City, N.J., and precede the ceremonial weigh-ins for the fans, which take place at 5 p.m. ET at Boardwalk Hall. The same venue hosts Saturday’s event, which airs on FS1 following early prelims on UFC Fight Pass.
