Ismael Bonfim recorded his third weight miss under the UFC banner, weighing in at 163.5 pounds for his lightweight contest against Francisco Prado. This mark was 7.5 pounds over the non-title limit. Bonfim previously missed weight by five pounds in November 2025 and 3.5 pounds in November 2023.

Two additional fighters also came in heavy for their respective matchups. Ketlen Souza checked in at 117 pounds, one pound over the strawweight limit, while light heavyweight Brendson Ribeiro weighed in at 208.5 pounds, missing his mark by 2.5 pounds. The promotion has not yet confirmed if these bouts will proceed as catchweights.

In contrast, the middleweight headliners successfully met their requirements. Brendan Allen and Christian Leroy Duncan both weighed in at the middleweight limit, confirming the main event will proceed as scheduled.
