Headliners Rafael dos Anjos (25-8 MMA, 14-6 UFC) and Tony Ferguson (21-3 MMA, 11-1 UFC) made weight without trouble, but Charles Oliveira (21-6 MMA, 9-6 UFC) provided a bit of drama. Oliveira missed weight by a whopping nine pounds, checking in at 155 pounds for his featherweight bout with Ricardo Lamas (16-5 MMA, 7-3 UFC). The bout will go ahead as scheduled but Lamas receives 30 percent of Oliveira’s purse.
