UFC 327 is almost here. Saturday night, Kaseya Center in Miami is the setting for the April flagship event from the No. 1 MMA promotion in the world. Live coverage begins with the early prelims at 5:30 pm ET/ 2:30 pm PT.
Stateside, the early prelims can be seen as a simulcast on Paramount Plus and UFC Fight Pass. Late prelims follow at 7 pm ET/ 4 pm PT on Paramount Plus, with the CBS Television Network joining in-progress at 8 pm ET/ 5 pm PT.
The main card caps the evening at 9 pm ET/ 6 pm PT, with the first hour being a simulcast on Paramount Plus and your local CBS station. Earlier today, the official weigh-ins for UFC 327 took place. Although the 12-fight schedule for Saturday’s card is intact, not everything was routine on the scales this morning.
Saturday’s featured early prelim will see Chris Padilla (158 lbs) square off against MarQuel Medeiros (155 lbs) in a lightweight showdown. During the former’s first effort to weigh-in, he tipped the scales two pounds over the 156-lb nontitle maximum.
Contestants who miss weight at an official window are afforded a second attempt to weigh-in. Padilla’s second chance at the scales also saw him register a weight of 158 lbs.
This fight will proceed as planned, but Padilla will now cede 20 percent of his wages to MarQuel Medeiros. This was the only mishap on the scales this morning.
