NEW YORK – MMA Junkie was at Friday’s official UFC 295 fighter weigh-ins, which took place at the UFC host hotel in New York and preceded the ceremonial weigh-ins for the fans at 5 p.m. ET at The Theater at MSG in New York.

The attached Madison Square Garden hosts Saturday’s event, which has a main card on pay-per-view following prelims on ESPNews and early prelims on ESPN+.

Among those who weighed in were former light heavyweight champion Jiri Prochazka (29-3-1 MMA, 3-0 UFC) and ex-middleweight champ Alex Pereira (8-2 MMA, 5-1 UFC), who meet for the vacant 205-pound title. Pereira will attempt to become the UFC’s newest two-division titleholder. In the co-feature, the interim heavyweight title is on the line between Sergei Pavlovich (18-1 MMA, 6-1 UFC) and Tom Aspinall (13-3 MMA, 6-1 UFC).

The four title fight combatants made weight in the first 90 minutes, but two undercard fighters closed the two-hour window with misses.

Jamall Emmers registered at 147, one pound over the featherweight limit, for his fight vs. Dennis Buzukja. He was followed by Roosevelt Roberts, who took a lightweight fight vs. Mateusz Rebecki on less than one week’s notice and weighed 158 pounds, two pounds over the divisional limit.

According to the New York State Athletic Commission (NYSAC) protocols, only title fight combatants receive an additional hour to hit their marks so Emmers and Roberts were one-and-done on the scale.

At the time of publication, statuses of the fights and fines are unknown. This story will be updated when confirmation is received.
