UFC Vegas 121 weigh-in results: Luis Hernandez seven pounds heavier than Sedriques Dumas for short-notice fight

Luis Hernandez will have a big weight advantage over Sedriques Dumas at UFC Vegas 121 on Saturday.

On Saturday, Hernandez and Dumas face off in a featured light heavyweight bout at UFC Vegas 121. Originally, Dumas was supposed to fight Mickey Gall in a middleweight contest, but when Gall withdrew from the event on Thursday, Hernandez stepped in, and the bout shifted to 205 pounds. And at the Friday morning weigh-ins, Hernandez needed most of that, tipping the scales at 204 pounds. Dumas, meanwhile, came in seven pounds lighter than Hernandez, weighing in at a lean 197 pounds.

Saturday’s main event matchup is a key bantamweight contest between surging contenders Raul Rosas Jr. and Raoni Barcelos. It’s the first main event spot for both men, and both successfully made weight on Friday, too, with Rosas taking advantage of the one-pound allowance for non-title fights and coming in at 136 pounds, while Barcelos came in at championship weight, 135 pounds.

The co-main event features a pivotal women’s bantamweight fight as fourth-ranked Norma Dumont takes on fifth-ranked Ailin Perez, with both women coming in at the limit of 136 pounds.

The remaining 20 fighters on the card also successfully made weight, with only John Castaneda requiring a second attempt to do so.
