UFC Fight Night: Rodriguez vs. Lemos (also known as UFC Fight Night 214, and UFC Vegas 64) will be the next Fight Night card from the world’s premier MMA promotion. The event will go down this Saturday, November 5, with several exciting matchups to look forward to.
In the main event of UFC Fight Night, No.3-ranked women’s strawweight contender Marina Rodriguez will take on the No.7-ranked Amanda Lemos.
Friday’s official UFC Fight Night 214 fighter weigh-ins, which was a fairly big disaster.
The weigh-ins took place at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. The same venue hosts Saturday’s card, which streams on ESPN+.
Among those weighing in were Marina Rodriguez (16-1-2 MMA, 6-1-2 UFC) and Amanda Lemos (12-2-1 MMA, 6-2 UFC), who meet in the women’s strawweight main event, and Neil Magny (26-10 MMA, 19-8 UFC) and Daniel Rodriguez (17-2 MMA, 7-1 UFC), who fight in the welterweight co-feature. There were no issues for the top two fights on the card, but that’s largely where it stopped.
Five fighters came in heavy on their first attempt, with Grant Dawson, Shanna Young, Benito Lopez, Carlos Candelario and Ramona Pascual all coming in over their contracted limits. Only Young was cleared to keep cutting weight, and she eventually hit women’s flyweight limit – after cutting off some hair – on her second attempt.
