UFC Vegas 16 Weigh-ins: Hermansson & Vettori Are Set For Battle

The latest, main event for UFC Vegas 16 is moving ahead, as both Jack Hermansson and Marvin Vettori have made weight.

Hermansson versus Vettori

‘The Joker’ Hermansson was originally scheduled to fight Darren Till on Saturday, but the latter was sidelined with an injury. Then Kevin Holland was tapped for the main event, but he recently withdrew after testing positive for COVID-19.

Vettori, who was moved from a December 12th bout with ‘Jacare’ Souza to tomorrow’s headliner, came in at 186 pounds for the main event.

Hermansson, meanwhile, was 185.5.

Vettori (15-4-1) is coming off a submission win over Karl Roberson in June and has won three in a row.

Hermansson (21-5)  quickly submitted Kelvin Gastelum in his last bout, which took place in July. The contender is 4-1 in his last five bouts.
