MONTERREY, Mexico – The UFC has cards every single weekend the month – in four different countries and four different continents.
On Saturday, the promotion lands in Mexico once again for UFC Fight Night 78 in Monterrey. Today, the fighters had their first battle – the one with the scale. And while everyone made weight, there were some raised eyebrows before a couple of fighters were cleared.
In Saturday’s main event, Kelvin Gastelum (11-1 MMA, 6-1 UFC) meets late-notice replacement Neil Magny (16-4 MMA, 9-3 UFC) at welterweight. And in a featherweight barnburner, Ricardo Lamas (15-4 MMA, 6-2 UFC) is the card’s biggest favorite against the always-ready-to-scrap Diego Sanchez (25-7 MMA, 14-7 UFC).
Check out the highlights from Friday’s weigh-ins above from Monterrey Arena. Then don’t miss Saturday’s card. After early prelims on UFC Fight Pass, the remainder of the card airs on FOX Sports 1.
