A look at 10 of the best and most memorable UFC weigh-in moments, ahead of UFC 239, which is live this Saturday, July 6, 2019, from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, NV.

The UFC 239 ceremonial weigh-ins will take place this Friday, July 5, 2019, live from Las Vegas, NV. It is a stacked card that is sure to give fans memorable moments both inside the cage and throughout all of international fight week. Weigh-ins have often times made for some of the most incredible moments in UFC history as tensions run high and fighters stand toe to toe with their opponent one last time before doing battle. With a huge slate of big names, and plenty of animosity heading into the weekend, there is sure to be fireworks yet again come this Friday’s weigh-in.

Animosity runs high in competition, it’s just part of the game.  This is made even more evident when the competition at hand, at its root, is a competition that is based on inflicting damage onto your opposition. Throughout the history of the UFC, ceremonial weigh-ins have given us some incredible moments. Whether it be fighters missing weight badly, back and forth shoving, Dana White having to separate guys, etc., the weigh-ins always seem to leave at least one lasting moment. With early weigh-ins being the new trend in MMA, the ceremonial weigh-in serves one purpose and that is to square the fighters off one last time before fight night. In a sport where tensions and animosity are always running high, these weigh-ins hold a ton of entertainment value because you never know what might happen. Some instances have resulted in utter chaos, while others are lasting images fans will associate with specific UFC fights and cards forever. With the cameras rolling and the fans in attendance, we’ve often seen hectic moments at UFC weigh-in ceremonies, and here is a closer look at 10 of the most memorable of those moments.
