NEW YORK – There were no issues on the scale for Carla Esparza and Zhang Weili ahead of their UFC 281 co-headliner. The women’s strawweight title fight between Esparza (19-6 MMA, 10-4 UFC) and Weili (22-3 MMA, 6-2 UFC) is locked in after both women made weight at Friday’s official weigh-ins at the UFC host hotel in New York. Madison Square Garden hosts Saturday’s card, which airs on pay-per-view following prelims on ESPNews and ESPN+. Champion Esparza was the first fighter to the scale in the two-hour official window. She stepped on the scale at 114.8 pounds. Former titleholder Weili came to the scale about six minutes into the window and was 114.8, as well – though she used the screen to weigh in without clothes.
