UFC Houston is almost here! Ahead of tomorrow night’s schedule, the last of the pre-fight exercises for the event at Toyota Center took place earlier Friday morning with the official weigh-in window.

Live coverage of UFC Houston commences with the prelims Saturday afternoon at 5 pm ET/ 2 pm PT. Stateside, the entirety of the event can be streamed over Paramount Plus. Main card action follows at 8 pm ET/ 5 pm PT. Unlike the weigh-ins two weeks ago, today’s session on the scales was nearly drama-free.

Only one fighter on the card exceeded the target weight. Phillip Rowe (172 lbs,) who’s slated to fight Jean-Paul Lebosnoyani on the prelims, was one pound over the 171-lb target for welterweight nontitle bouts. Lebosnoyani made weight at 170 1/2 lbs without issue.

UFC Houston’s Main, Co-Main Events Confirmed With Official Weigh-In Window Friday

The rest of the fighters also hit their marks on the scales today, including those booked to appear in the main and co-main events of the evening. In the main event of the evening, Sean Strickland (185 lbs) came in on championship weight for his middleweight contest vs. Anthony Hernandez (186 lbs.) This will be a five-round fight at five minutes per round to close the show.

In the co-main attraction, welterweights Geoff Neal (170 1/2 lbs) and Uros Medic (171 lbs) do battle. This co-main event is three rounds at five minutes per round.
