Otari Tanzilovi successfully made the featherweight limit at 145 lbs ahead of his UFC Vegas 119 appearance.
Otari Tanzilovi hit the featherweight mark of 145 pounds at the official weigh-ins ahead of UFC Vegas 119, clearing the way for his scheduled appearance at the event on June 19, 2026.
The 28-year-old Georgian carries a professional record of 10 wins and 2 losses into the bout, competing in a featherweight division that demands precise weight management from its 145-pound competitors. Standing five-foot-nine with a 70-inch reach, Tanzilovi brings a well-rounded offensive game to the cage. His striking output of 4.2 significant strikes landed per minute is backed by an exceptional accuracy rate of 68 percent, making him one of the more precise volume strikers in the division. He also adds a meaningful grappling dimension, averaging 4.5 takedowns per 15 minutes, giving opponents a genuinely two-dimensional problem to solve.
Why it matters
- Tanzilovi's successful weight cut removes any uncertainty heading into fight night and confirms the bout proceeds as scheduled.
- His combination of takedown volume and striking accuracy at 68 percent presents a difficult stylistic puzzle at featherweight.
- At just 28 years old and with a 10-2 record, a strong performance at UFC Vegas 119 could push him further into divisional contention.
