On Saturday, the UFC Shanghai weigh-ins saw a significant mix-up resulting in three fighters failing to meet the weight requirements for their respective bouts. Among them, Andre Lima faced a 20% purse deduction as he over the flyweight limit by 1 lb. Additionally, Xiong Jingnan and Julia Polastri, both over the women's strawweight limit by 1 lb and 2.5 lbs respectively, saw their bout go ahead as a catchweight, without any financial penalties imposed on either fighter.
Despite the weight issues, the UFC Shanghai card proceeded with 13 bouts, featuring highlights including Umar Nurmagomedov vs. Song Yadong and a five-round bantamweight fight.
