Kelvin Gastelum had trouble making weight for his UFC on ESPN 29 main event against Jared Cannonier.
After a rare week off, the Ultimate Fighting Championship returns to ESPN airwaves. Twenty-two fighters made weight for the event without any issue, while Saidyokub Kakhramonov came in 2.5 pounds heavy for his bantamweight bout against Trevin Jones. Most notably, Gastelum struggled to make weight, initially coming in a quarter of a pound heavy. However, after 20 minutes had passed, Gastelum hit the 186-pound mark.
This is the second UFC main event for Cannonier (13-5), who defeated Jack Hermansson by second-round TKO in his first spotlight bout.
