NO DRAMA AT THE WEIGH-INS - All 20 Fighters Have Made Weight For UFC At The Sphere

Last time I was out in Las Vegas for UFC 303, just a few months ago, there was a lot of drama surrounding the card.

For starters, the main event was supposed to be Conor McGregor vs Michael Chandler - and we all know how that went....but also, Brian Ortega vs Diego Lopes went from a banger of a Featherweight matchup to a short notice Lightweight fight to Diego Lopes vs Dan Ige on the week of the fight. Hell, Dan Ige stepped in on mere hours notice, something we've never seen in the UFC before. It was crazy.

Cards are always subject to change, and get molded into new ones incredibly often - but when everyone slated to fight actually makes it to fight week AND they all make weight? That's the best. No obstacles, no roadblocks, no last minute cancellations, and no swaps, or pull outs - just the fights as they were intended. That's what we've got here with UFC Noche (maybe because nobody wanted to miss out on seeing the Sphere) and I couldn't be more fired up.

Last night's presser was awesome, with Lazy Boy completely stealing the show when taunting his opponent, Ode Osbourne....

….but Sean O'Malley and Merab had some good back and forth exchanges as well, and Dana hilariously wouldn't budge on extra bonuses after he did it last time and the card disappointed….

I'm gonna be catching up with Uncle Dana later today, so make sure to look out for our interview this evening! I should get some good stuff outta him!

P.S. Check out our interviews with Brian Ortega and Merab Dvalishvili ahead of the fights tomorrow….
