UFC Edmonton Weigh-Ins Actually Go Off Without a Hitch

The UFC Edmonton weigh-ins are officially in the books, and in a shocking twist for modern combat sports, absolutely everyone did their job.

According to MMA Junkie, it was a perfectly clean and lightning-fast scale session, which means we actually get the fights we were promised. No last-minute catchweight drama, no percentage of purses being surrendered, and no fighters looking like they just spent a week in a dehydrator.

"MMA Junkie reported a 'perfectly perfect – and quick! – scale session in Edmonton.'"

The card is fully locked, featuring Joaquin Buckley taking on Mike Malott, alongside the highly anticipated Brandon Moreno and Amir Albazi clash.

For bettors, a drama-free weigh-in is a massive sigh of relief. Buckley is currently sitting at +114 on DraftKings as he returns from an injury layoff, and knowing he hit the scale without issue removes a massive variable for anyone looking to back the underdog.

Usually, UFC weigh-ins are a high-stakes reality show where you hold your breath hoping a main event does not evaporate because someone ate a single almond on Thursday.

Having a full roster hit their marks quickly is the MMA equivalent of your entire group chat actually showing up to dinner on time. It is a statistical anomaly that you just have to appreciate.

With the scale drama out of the way, all eyes shift to the cage. If Buckley can overcome the rust and cash as a plus-money dog against Malott, this perfectly smooth Friday will translate into a highly profitable Saturday.
