UFC 319 weigh-ins: Title fighters on weight, but one bout falls off Chicago lineup

The fighters took to the scale in Chicago ahead of UFC 319, with the middleweight title fight officially set for Saturday night at United Center.

The main event features a battle for the 185-pound title, as defending champion Dricus Du Plessis takes on undefeated challenger Khamzat Chimaev, and both men had no issues making weight for their title tussle, with Du Plessis arriving bang on championship weight, at 185 pounds, while Chimaev stepped onto the scale with weight to spare, coming in at 183 pounds.

The featherweight co-main event will see Lerone Murphy welcome Aaron Pico to the UFC, with Murphy weighing in at 146 pounds, and Pico coming in at 145 pounds. And the welterweight main card battle between Geoff Neal (171) and Carlos Prates (170) is also confirmed after both men made weight without issue.

Michael “Venom” Page made full use of all of the extra poundage for his second successive middleweight fight as he came in at 186 pounds for his bout with former title challenger Jared Cannonier, who registered the same weight.

Also on the main card, flyweights Tim Elliott and Kai Asakura both arrived on the scale at 126 pounds.

Unfortunately, one fight has been removed from the fight card after one of the competitors failed to make weight. Bryan Battle came in at 190 pounds, four pounds over the middleweight limit, for his bout with Nursulton Ruziboev.

It was initially reported that Battle would be fined 30 percent of his purse and the bout would continue. But later in the day, a news update from the UFC reported the fight had been pulled from the fight card.
