In the main event, welterweight contender Gilbert Burns and Mike Malott both registered 77.56 kg, setting up their 170-pound headliner without incident. Burns, 39, carries a 22-10 record and is ranked 13th in the welterweight division.

Russian lightweight Mark Vologdin came in at 62.82 kg for his catchweight clash with John Castaneda, who weighed 63.04 kg. The slight difference pushes the fight to a catchweight designation rather than a standard divisional contest.

Why it matters
- Burns vs. Malott is a meaningful welterweight contest with Burns sitting at No. 13 in the divisional rankings, making a win valuable for either fighter's positioning
- The Vologdin vs. Castaneda catchweight arrangement removes divisional ranking implications but keeps the bout on the card
- A clean card-wide weigh-in means no last-minute scrambles or replacement bouts, giving the Winnipeg crowd the full slate of fights as scheduled
