Headlining welterweights Mike Malott and Joaquin Buckley both registered at 170.5 pounds to finalize their main event matchup. Canada's Malott enters the cage looking for his fourth consecutive victory following a dominant knockout win over former title challenger Gilbert Burns in his most recent appearance.
In the co-main event, top-10 flyweights Erin Blanchfield and Jasmine Jasudavicius successfully weighed in for a matchup carrying potential title shot implications. Blanchfield stepped on the scale at 125 pounds flat, while Jasudavicius came in slightly under the championship limit at 124.5 pounds.
The proceedings saw minor tension early in the second hour of the weigh-in window when Kyle Daukaus and Melissa Croden both had to use the privacy barrier to make weight. Daukaus ultimately hit 186 pounds for his middleweight bout against Marc-Andre Barriault, who checked in at 185 pounds.
