DALLAS –
The official UFC 277 weigh-ins were held at the American Airlines Center on Friday.
After prelims on ABC/ESPN and ESPN+, the event airs on pay-per-view on Saturday. The Texas crowd reacted differently to each of the 26 combatants on the 13-fight night.
On the undercard, the heavyweight title fight between Derrick Lewis and Sergei Pavlovich (26-9 MMA, 17-7 UFC) and the flyweight title fight between Alexandre Pantoja and Alex Perez (26-6 MMA, 6-2 UFC) were both contested. Magomed Ankalaev (17-1 MMA, 8-1 UFC) and Anthony Smith (17-1 MMA, 8-1 UFC) were also on the card (36-16 MMA, 11-6 UFC).
The three non-title faceoffs can be seen in the video above, and the staredowns were intense yet courteous.
