UFC 315 is official, with all fighters weighing in on Friday morning in Montreal, and one athlete missing weight.
That was Bruno Silva, who was a pound over for his middleweight fight with Marc-Andre Barriault. Try as he might, and he did keep trying, toweling himself down to wipe off excess sweat and weighing in behind a barrier, Silva could not shake the final pound.
One fighter who did shake off a pound was Daniel Santos. “Willycat” came in at 147, but weighed in a second time, behind a barrier, after cutting additional weight. This time, he hit 146, the featherweight non-title limit.
Moments before Jose Aldo stepped on the scale, it was announced that his fight with Aiemann Zahabi had been shifted to featherweight. Reportedly, Zahabi had all of a pound left to cut when he got word that Aldo was struggling with this weight cut for what was originally a bantamweight fight. Aldo weighed in at 143, Zahabi at 142.
Welterweight champ Belal Muhammad weighed in first on Friday for UFC 315, and all four of the card’s top four competitors weighed in to start off the window. Jack Della Maddalena, Valentina Shevchenko, and Manon Fiorot all made weight.
