Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) just wrapped its early weigh-ins for the tomorrow night’s (Sat., Aug. 9, 2025) UFC Vegas 109 mixed martial arts (MMA) event which is scheduled for the promotion’s APEX facility in Las Vegas, Nevada. Unfortunately, it was anything but a smooth affair, as three of the card’s 24 combatants failed to make their assigned weight on the first attempt.
Pivotally, one of half of the Middleweight main event, Anthony Hernandez, weighed in at 186.5 pounds on his first attempt. “Fluffy” enters this bout riding a seven-fight win streak, and this is his first five-round opportunity in the UFC, so it’s really quite pivotal that he makes the most of the moment. Fortunately, Hernandez did return and make the weight on his second attempt, so his bout versus Roman Dolidze will move forward without issue.
Check out his first attempt below:
On the “Prelims” portion of the card, two more fighters missed weight as well. Joselyne Edwards tipped the scale at 136.25 pounds. She’s already missed weight on two previous occasions as a UFC fighter. She’s scheduled to square down with Brazilian slugger (and notorious cheater) Priscila Cachoeira. Finally, Julija Stoliarenko also missed weight via a quarter of a pound, weighing in at 126.25. She’ll face Brazil’s Gabriella Fernandes tomorrow, and it’s worth noting Stoliarenko looked a little shaky on the scale — bettors beware!
Both Edwards and Stoliarenko have about half an hour to hit the mark remaining. If they do, expect an immediate update right here.
Both Edwards and Stoliearenko have hit the mark on their second try as well! After a bit of drama, all 24 athletes have officially made weight for UFC Vegas 109.
