The UFC is set for another thrilling event as Brandon Royval and Tatsuro Taira headline UFC Fight Night 244 at the Apex. Both fighters weighed in at 125.5 pounds, under the limit, setting the stage for an exciting main event. Royval is aiming to build on his recent split-decision victory over Brandon Moreno, while Taira, still undefeated in 16 bouts, seeks to solidify his status in the flyweight division.
Three fighters failed to make their weight for various bouts on the card, with Jared Gooden, Josh Fremd, and Dan Argueta all coming in overweight, leading to catchweight fights and purse fines. Gooden lost 20%, Fremd faced a 30% deduction, and Argueta received a 20% penalty. Despite the weight issues, all fights will proceed, highlighting the challenges athletes face in preparation.
