Brendan Allen and Paul Craig were both on point ahead of a key middleweight matchup.

At Friday’s official weigh-ins for UFC Vegas 82, Craig was the first fighter to weigh in and he hit the non-title mark at 186 pounds. Allen followed shortly after, also hitting 186 on the scale. The two meet in Saturday’s main event, which takes place at UFC APEX in Las Vegas.

Several other notable names made weight without issue, including co-main event welterweights Michael Morales (171) and Jake Matthews (170.5) and lightweights Chase Hooper (155.5) and Jordan Leavitt (155.5).

However, three fighter missed weight for UFC Vegas 82. Featherweight Lucas Alexander (148) and flyweight Rafael Estevam (128) were both two pounds over the non-title limit for their respective bouts with Jeka Saragih and Charles Johnson, while bantamweight Ailin Perez was 0.5 pounds over the non-title limit for her fight with Lucie Pudilova.

It is not yet known of those bouts will proceed as catchweights, and if so, what percentage of the offending fighters’ purses will be forfeited as penalty.
