UFC Vegas 111 Weigh-Ins Confirm Main Event; Ismael Bonfim Misses by Five Pounds

A decision on a catchweight for Bonfim vs. Padilla remains pending under heightened scrutiny from last week’s fixing probe.

Overview

  • Gabriel Bonfim weighed 170.5 pounds and Randy Brown came in at 171 pounds, making their five-round welterweight headliner official for Saturday at the UFC APEX.
  • Ismael Bonfim registered 161 pounds for a lightweight bout, missing the non-title limit by five pounds in his second UFC weight miss.
  • Chris Padilla successfully hit 155 pounds, with the bout’s status and any purse forfeiture for Bonfim yet to be determined by the commission and camps.
  • All other fighters on the UFC Vegas 111 lineup made weight, including co-main participants Matt Schnell at 126 and Joseph Morales at 125.
  • The weigh-in fallout lands as the promotion faces continued attention following last week’s fight-fixing allegations tied to an FBI inquiry and recent roster discipline.
