UFC 320 takes place this Saturday in Las Vegas, but before the fighters step into the cage at T-Mobile Arena, they’ll need to step onto the scale at the official weigh-in.
Sportsnet’s Aaron Bronsteter and former UFC fighter Diana Belbita will broadcast live from the UFC Apex on Friday as they report the official weights for UFC 320 athletes and speak to some of the participating fighters. Fans can watch the live weigh-in show on Sportsnet.ca, Sportsnet+ and Sportsnet’s YouTube channel Friday beginning at approximately 11:55 a.m. ET / 8:55 a.m. PT.
UFC 320 is headlined by a light-heavyweight championship rematch between current titleholder Magomed Ankalaev and former champ Alex Pereira. Ankalaev won a unanimous decision at UFC 313 in March to take the title from Pereira, who had defended the belt three times in 2024.
There will be a one-pound allowance for all non-title bouts, but both Pereira and Ankalaev must weigh no heavier than 205 pounds for their title fight to be made official.
