LAS VEGAS – MMA Junkie was on scene and reporting live from Friday’s official UFC Fight Night 253 (ESPN+) fighter weigh-ins at the host hotel. Among those weighing in were flyweights Manel Kape (20-7 MMA, 6-3 UFC) and Asu Almabayev (21-2 MMA, 4-0 UFC), who meet in the main event, and Cody Brundage (10-6 MMA, 4-5 UFC) and Julian Marquez (9-5 MMA, 3-4 UFC) who fight in the middleweight co-feature. All the prominent fighters made weight. There were some issues on the undercard, however.
