The duo, 28 and 35 respectively, had no issues making weight for their eagerly anticipated Sin City showdown.

Topuria hit the scales first during the official weigh-ins at the UFC Apex, tipping the scales at 155lbs on the nose in his second outing in the division.

Former champ Oliveira, meanwhile, soon followed and also had no issue making the championship weight.

In fact, he came half a pound under at 154.5lbs and looked extremely gaunt.

All that remained after the duo’s making of weight was for them to have a final face off at the ceremonial weigh ins.

Fan favourite Oliveira received a chorus of cheers as he took to the scales to ceremonially weigh in.

Topuria, meanwhile, was greeted by a chorus of boos but lapped them up.

Like their first face off on Thursday, the duo were cordial before staring intently in one another’s eyes.

And they had a warm embrace before going their separate ways.

UFC supremo Dana White oversaw the weigh-in but wasn’t called on to separate the pair.

Oliveira, meanwhile, can become the first two-time lightweight champion in UFC history.

‘Do Bronx’, of course, lost the belt on the scales in May 2022 as he missed weight for what would’ve been his second title defence against Justin Gaethje.
