One miss, but flyweight headliners hit marks

MEXICO CITY – MMA Junkie was on scene and reporting live from Friday’s UFC on ESPN 64 fighter weigh-ins, where all but one fighter hit their marks.

In the main event, former flyweight champion Brandon Moreno (23-8-2 MMA, 11-4-2 UFC) takes on recent title challenger Steve Erceg (12-4 MMA, 3-3 UFC). The headliners were the first two to come to the scale during the weigh-in window, and each hit 125 pounds on the nose.

Ronaldo Rodriguez (17-2 MMA, 2-0 UFC) missed the mark at 127 pounds for his flyweight bout against Kevin Borjas (9-3 MMA, 0-2 UFC) and will be fined a percentage of his purse.

The early weigh-ins took place at the UFC host hotel in Mexico City and precede the ceremonial weigh-ins for the fans, which take place at 7 p.m. ET at Arena CDMX in Mexico City. The same venue hosts Saturday’s event (ESPN2/ESPN+).
