UFC Fight Night 243 video: Renato Moicano, Benoit Saint Denis make weight for Paris headliner

The UFC Fight Night 243 main event is official after Renato Moicano and Benoit Saint Denis made weight on Friday.

Ranked lightweights are set to clash in a five-round bout at Accor Arena in Paris on Saturday (ESPN+), but first both men had to step on the scale and hit the divisional mark.

Moicano (19-5-1 MMA, 11-5 UFC) registered at 156 pounds for his second octagon headliner, while France’s own Saint Denis (13-2 MMA, 5-2 UFC) tipped the scale at 156 pounds for his first promotional main event.

Brazil’s Moicano is riding a three-fight winning streak and is No. 15 in the latest USA TODAY Sports/MMA Junkie lightweight rankings. No. 14-ranked Saint Denis, meanwhile, is looking to rebound from a knockout loss to Dustin Poirier at UFC 299 in March, which snapped his five-fight winning streak.

Check out the video above to see Moicano and Saint Denis make weight for UFC Fight Night 243.
