UFC Shanghai Shake-Up!

In a surprising twist at UFC Shanghai, Brian Ortega and Aljamain Sterling will battle it out at a catchweight of 153 pounds instead of the originally planned featherweight limit of 146 pounds!

Weigh-in Woes for Ortega!

Concerns emerged during the weigh-ins regarding Ortega’s weight cut, leading to the UFC’s decision to switch the fight to a catchweight bout. Both fighters stepped on the scale at exactly 153 pounds, officially locking in the matchup they said would still be a thrilling five-round co-main event.

Ortega is eager to bounce back after his recent loss to Diego Lopes, while Sterling is also hungry for victory following a tight decision loss to Movsar Evloev last December. The stakes are high for both fighters!

While Ortega faced challenges, the light heavyweight titans in the main event handled their weigh-ins without a hitch. Johnny Walker tipped the scales at 206 pounds, while Zhang Mingyang weighed in at 205 pounds, both primed for their five-round bout.
