All fighters made weight for Saturday’s UFC Abu Dhabi event in the United Arab Emirates, including light heavyweight headliners Magomed Ankalaev and Bogdan Guskov.
Guskov replaced Khalil Rountree Jr. on less than two weeks’ notice for the five-round main event and weighed 205.5 pounds, the same for former champion Ankalaev.
Ankalaev attempts to reinsert himself in the conversation for a shot at the UFC title after losing the belt to Alex Pereira in his most recent bout in October. Guskov, on the other
hand, gets a chance to enter the title picture after going undefeated in his past five octagon appearances.
In the co-main event, one-time UFC title challenger Steve Erceg and opponent Ramazan Temirov successfully hit the flyweight mark.
