UFC Vegas 124 Weigh-In: Cortes-Acosta 262, Walker 239
Waldo Cortes-Acosta weighed 262 and Johnny Walker 239 for Saturday's UFC Vegas 124 main event at the Meta Apex. Fourteen fights are on the card, and every weight is listed below.
A headliner built on short notice
Cortes-Acosta, a former baseball player from the Dominican Republic, has lost back-to-back fights to Alexander Volkov and Curtis Blaydes. Walker, from Brazil, was a ranked light heavyweight before moving up, and he won his heavyweight debut. The fight matters for both of them.
It tops the card because Sean Brady is out of his fight with Gabriel Bonfim.
What the scale settles
