Interestingly, the opposite happened with Cannonier, who was the second-to-last to weigh in in the measurements, leading to suspense. A former light heavyweight (up to 93kg) and heavyweight (up to 120,2kg) fighter, he confirmed the main duel at 83,4kg. Therefore, the winner of the clash guarantees a prominent place towards a chance to compete for the belt led by Dricus du Plessis.

Finalist of The Ultimate Fighting 32, Mairon Santos decides the title and adopted a great mystery at the weigh-in. In the semifinals, still at home, the Niteroi native had not made weight and took a while to show up, but fulfilled his obligation within the 66,2kg limit.
