ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. – The UFC Fight Night 128 ceremonial weigh-ins went down today, and MMAjunkie was on the scene.
In the main event, Kevin Lee (16-3 MMA, 9-3 UFC) meets Edson Barboza (19-5 MMA, 13-5 UFC) now at a catchweight after “The Motown Phenom” missed the 156-pound lightweight limit by one pound. And in the co-main event, Frankie Edgar (22-6-1 MMA, 16-6-1 UFC) returns just 49 days removed from the first knockout loss of his career to take on Cub Swanson (25-8 MMA, 10-4 UFC) in a rematch of their 2014 encounter won by “The Answer.”
Despite the morning drama during official weigh-ins, the ceremonial festivities went off without a hitch. There was just Lee getting into the 4/20 holiday spirit when he hit the scale.
