Live coverage of UFC Houston begins Saturday afternoon with prelims at 5:00 PM ET/2:00 PM PT. The entire event can be streamed in the United States Paramount Plus. The main card action follows at 8:00 PM ET/5:00 PM PT. Unlike the weigh-ins two weeks ago, today’s session on the scale was almost drama-free.
Only one fighter on the card exceeded the target weight. Phillip Rowe (172 lbs), who is scheduled to fight Jean-Paul Lebosnoyani in the prelims, was one pound over the 171 lb target for welterweight non-title fights. Lebosnoyani reached a weight of 170 1/2 lbs without any problems.
UFC Houston’s main and co-main events confirmed Friday with official weigh-in
The rest of the fighters also reached their target on the scale today, including those booked to appear in the evening’s main and co-main events. In the main event of the evening, Sean Strickland (185 lbs) came in at championship weight for his middleweight match against Anthony Hernandez (186 lbs). This will be a five-round fight of five minutes per round to close out the show.
The co-main attraction features welterweights Geoff Neal (170 1/2 lbs) and Uros Medic (171 lbs). This co-main event consists of three rounds of five minutes per round.
