UFC on ESPN 44 Weigh-in Results: Headliners Cleared; Jocelyn Edwards Heavy


The Ultimate Fighting Championship returns to Kansas City, Missouri, for UFC on ESPN 44, which is headlined by an intriguing featherweight battle.

The five-round main event will see former featherweight king Max Holloway return to the Octagon against rising contender Arnold Allen. While both main eventers had no issue making weight, there was one notable miss on the lineup. Joselyne Edwards (136.5) came in heavy for her second fight in a row, checking in half a pound over the bantamweight limit for her fight against Lucie Pudilova (136). As a result, she has been fined 20% of her purse and the match will otherwise continue.

"Blessed" is looking to bounce back after once again suffering a defeat against Alexander Volkanovski. The fan-favorite Hawaiian fighter had previously put together impressive wins over Yair Rodriguez and Calvin Kattar, proving that he still has plenty left in the tank at only 31 years old. Holloway (23-7) stepped on the scale at 146 pounds exactly.

Meanwhile, this is the biggest fight in the career of Allen (19-1). "Almighty" is riding an impressive 12-fight win streak and has been undefeated inside the Octagon. The English fighter most recently won his first UFC main event against Calvin Kattar. Allen officially weighed 146 pounds on the dot.

UFC on ESPN 44 will begin airing prelims on Saturday at 5:30 p.m. ET/2:30 p.m. PT on ESPN and ESPN+. The main card will then continue airing on both at 8:30 p.m. ET/5:30 p.m. PT.
