UFC Vegas 41 weigh-in stream: Will Paulo Costa make weight?

UFC Vegas 41 goes down this weekend at the UFC APEX. The main event is Paulo Costa vs. Marvin Vettori, two men who lost to Israel Adesanya for the middleweight title in their last bouts.

This fight was supposed to be in the middleweight division. However, on Wednesday Costa revealed he weighed 211 lbs and had no chance of making 186 lbs by today. Initially Costa and Vettori’s camps hammered out a deal to make the fight a catchweight bout at 195 lbs, with Costa forfeiting 20% of his purse to Vettori. However, the fight was then changed to a light heavyweight bout.
