19-07-26

Several fighters missed the mark on the scale ahead of UFC Oklahoma City, but the main event is locked in after both Dricus du Plessis and Kamaru Usman successfully made weight.

Du Plessis came in at 185.5 pounds and Usman at 186 pounds for their scheduled middleweight main event on Saturday. In the co-main event, Jared Cannonier weighed in at 185 pounds, while Christian Leroy Duncan hit 185.5 pounds.

Further down the card, Chase Hooper weighed in at 157.5 pounds for his lightweight bout with Mitch Ramirez, coming in over the limit and missing weight. This is the first time Hooper has missed weight in his career.

Hooper, who moved back up to lightweight in 2023 after beginning his UFC run at featherweight, will forfeit 20 percent of his purse, and his fight with Ramirez will proceed as a catchweight bout. In featherweight action, Ezra Elliott weighed in at 147.5 pounds for his matchup with Damien Anderson and also missed weight.
