UFC Sao Paulo weigh-in results: Jailton Almeida, Derrick Lewis official; two fights cancelled

Jailton Almeida vs. Derrick Lewis is official for UFC Sao Paulo after both heavyweights came in under the 265-pound limit Friday morning in Brazil.

A career light heavyweight who has gone 4-0 since moving up a division in 2022, “Malhadinho” Almeida weighed in at 236 pounds, five pounds heavier than his previous main event clash with Jairzinho Rozenstruik. He won that match via first-round submission.

Lewis came in at 265 pounds. In his previous match, “The Black Beast” stepped on the scale at 263.5 pounds a day before knocking out Marcos Rogerio de Lima in just 33 seconds.

Nicolas Dalby and Gabriel Bonfim successfully made weight for their welterweight co-main event, both weighing in at 170.5 pounds. Gabriel’s brother Ismael Bonfim was one of the three fighters who missed weight Friday morning, hitting 159.5 pounds for a lightweight showdown with Pichel. The bout was cancelled.

Victor Hugo, who agreed to fight bantamweight Daniel Marcos on short notice to replace an injured Daniel Santos, weighed in at 138.5 pounds. The match-up was also cancelled. Jacque Enriquez first reported the news.

Eduarda Moura missed weight by 4.5 pounds ahead of a strawweight clash with Montserrat Ruiz and was fined 30 percent. According to her manager, Moura’s period came Tuesday and she has endometriosis, and it affected her weight cut.
