    UFC 303 takes place tomorrow night, and MMA News is here to bring you the official weigh-in results!

    We're deep into International Fight Week, meaning the headline act at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas is just a day away . The venue will host a number of intriguing matchups on Saturday, with the championship rematch between Alex Pereira and Jiří Procházka leading the way in main event.

    Like those two, co-headliners Brian Ortega and Diego Lopes will also do battle on short notice, with the latter looking to make the most of an opportunity to climb into the top five at the expense of a former two-time title challenger in "T-City."

    That contest was originally scheduled for 145 pounds, but Jon Anik announced at the start of the weigh-ins that it will now take place at lightweight. Ariel Helwani subsequently reported that the issue was on the side of "T-City," who had to stop cutting at 151 pounds over fears he would not be able to compete had he continued. Prior to getting the call for UFC 303, Ortega was already bulking up ahead of a planned move up to 155 pounds.

    Elsewhere on the card, before Anthony Smith and Mayra Bueno Silva take to the cage for their respective fights, all eyes will be on the main card opener between undefeated welterweight contender Ian Garry and striking specialist Michael "Venom" Page .
