The official weigh-ins for UFC Fight Night 286 took place on Thursday at the UFC host hotel in Shanghai, China, with all eyes on the bantamweight main event featuring Umar Nurmagomedov and Song Yadong. Nurmagomedov, who boasts a professional record of 20 wins and 1 loss, stepped onto the scale at 135.5 pounds, while his opponent, Yadong, weighed in slightly heavier at 136 pounds.

This event, scheduled for Saturday at the Shanghai Indoor Stadium, has generated significant interest, particularly in the bantamweight division. Both fighters are looking to solidify their standings, with Nurmagomedov aiming to extend his impressive record in the UFC.

In addition to the main event, the weigh-ins also featured former strawweight title challenger Yan Xiaonan, who weighed in at 115.5 pounds for her fight against Denise Gomes, who was right on the limit at 115 pounds. However, the weigh-in session was not without its complications; several fighters missed their designated weight limits.

For instance, Andre Lima came in at 127 pounds, one pound over the flyweight limit for his bout against Namsrai Batbayar, resulting in a 20 percent fine on his purse. Similarly, Julia Polastri weighed in at 118.5 pounds, while her opponent, Xiong Jing Nan, also missed weight at 117 pounds. Despite these issues, all fights are set to proceed as planned.
