The fighters have hit the scales ahead of UFC 303 tomorrow, and all of the scheduled bouts are proceeding.

The co-headliner between Brian Ortega and Diego Lopes has been moved from featherweight to lightweight, ahead of Saturday’s card. Ariel Helwani reported that Ortega encountered issues while cutting weight overnight, and that Lopes ultimately agreed to fight at lightweight so the bout could proceed.
