Hardy’s 25-Pound Hefty Miss Ahead of Lopsided Heavyweight Showdown

Greg Hardy reportedly weighed around 291 pounds for a Fight Nation Championship heavyweight bout with Darko Stosic, missing the limit by about 25 pounds. Despite the large gap (Stosic at 240 pounds, a 52-pound difference), the fight will proceed after an agreement with Hardy’s opponent. Hardy, whose career spans NFL fame and a controversial UFC run, had never missed weight in UFC before this incident.

Verhoeven 25-Pound Edge Over Usyk at Cairo Weigh-In for Heavyweight Title

Verhoeven 25-Pound Edge Over Usyk at Cairo Weigh-In for Heavyweight Title

At the Cairo weigh-in for Saturday's WBC heavyweight title bout, Oleksandr Usyk weighed 233.3 lbs and Rico Verhoeven 258.7 lbs, giving Verhoeven a roughly 25-pound size advantage. Despite the heft, Verhoeven is a heavy underdog, and Usyk remains the heavier of the two in most of his heavyweight fights, though this is his heaviest weight ever. A win for Verhoeven would not yield him the WBA belt, but Usyk could lose the WBA title if Verhoeven wins. The undercard weighed in without issues, with several other bouts scheduled and DAZN set to stream the event.

Chimaev Favored to Defend UFC 328 Title Despite Weigh-In Dip

A Bloody Elbow TalkingPoints poll of 1,385 readers shows about 61% expect Khamzat Chimaev to defend his UFC middleweight title against Sean Strickland at UFC 328, with just under 39% backing Strickland for the upset. The slimmer margin comes as Chimaev looked depleted at the weigh-in, nudging some fans toward Strickland, who previously upset Adesanya and is riding momentum from a strong UFC Houston performance. The piece also plugs a Netflix MVP MMA event headlined by Nate Diaz vs. Mike Perry and notes other returning ex-UFC stars on the card.
