Live coverage of tomorrow’s event begins at 8 pm ET/ 5 pm PT on ESPN+ in the United States. Earlier this morning, the fighters tipped the scales at the hotel for the weigh-in window. There was, however, one hiccup on the scales today.
Freddy Vidal Comes in 4 lbs Over Maximum For Fight at DWCS 81 Weigh-Ins
While all five fights on tomorrow’s card will take place as originally advertised, the light heavyweight contest between Felipe Franco (204 lbs) and Freddy Vidal (210 lbs) saw the latter contestant exceed the nontitle maximum of 206 lbs by 4 lbs. Franco came in 2 lbs under the maximum.
DWCS 81 Main, Co-Main Events Locked In Without Issue Monday at Weigh-Ins
All other fighters booked to appear on the card weighed-in either on or below the contracted nontitle maximum, including those who will compete in the DWCS 81 main attraction. Both Anthony Guarascio (233 lbs) and Steven Asplund (261 1/2 lbs) came in under the 266-lb maximum for heavyweights.
The co-main event is also a firm go for Tuesday night after Cam Teague (145 lbs) and LerryAn Douglas (145 lbs) weighed-in at the championship maximum at featherweight.
