LAS VEGAS – The final UFC headliner of 2022 is official after Jared Cannonier and Sean Strickland made weight on Friday. Ahead of Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 216 main event, which takes place at the UFC Apex and streams on ESPN+, middleweight contenders Cannonier (15-6 MMA, 8-6 UFC) and Strickland (25-4 MMA, 12-4 UFC) had to step on the scale at weigh-ins and hit the contracted mark. Both men were successful in doing do, with Cannonier registering at 185.5 pounds, while Strickland was 186 pounds – albeit in a drained manner as he said “I’m going to go up to 205” after what appeared to be a tough cut.
