Why it matters

  • Magomedov's 0.6 kg overage puts the terms of his bout against Higo in question ahead of fight night
  • The Chizhov versus Rabadanov fight was already booked at a catchweight, with both men hitting their marks
  • Storley and Zendeli both came in within range of the 77.1 kg welterweight limit, keeping the main event intact
