Both Wiklacz and Basharat made the bantamweight limit with both of those fighters making 135.5. Both Vazquez and Gafurov will forefit 25% of their show purse to the opponents.
The two women on the prelims Eduarda Moura and Wang COng both came in at 127 and 127,5 making their scheudled fight a catchweight. Niether fighter will forfeit any of their purse however as both fighters missed the weight by the same amount so no purse will be forfited.
