Official weigh-ins for UFC Vegas 123 took place on Friday, with 23 of the 24 scheduled competitors making weight. Featherweight Francis Marshall was the only fighter on the card to miss the mark, stepping onto the scale at 148 pounds. Marshall exceeded the non-title featherweight limit by two pounds.
Marshall is scheduled to face Dakota Hope, who successfully hit the scale at 145.5 pounds. Hope stepped in on less than a month's notice as a replacement for Gaston Bolanos, who was forced to withdraw due to an eye injury. It is not yet confirmed whether the bout between Marshall and Hope will proceed as a catchweight contest, nor has it been announced what percentage of Marshall's fight purse will be forfeited as a penalty.
At the top of the card, lightweight headliners Renato Moicano and Tom Nolan were among the earliest competitors to step onto the scale and both successfully made weight, with Nolan registering at 155.5 pounds. Moicano enters the bout looking to build on a main event victory over Chris Duncan this past April, while Nolan is seeking his sixth consecutive victory.
