All but one fighter (Joselyne Edwards) made weight Friday morning to confirm their bouts. Five hours later, the fighters were called to take part in the Ceremonial Weigh-Ins and face off one last time before standing across from each other in the cage. Max Holloway seemed both calm and fired up, knowing the task at hand is no walk in the park. Arnold Allen is extremely confident in realizing this is the “opportunity of a lifetime” and that's he's been wanting Holloway as an opponent for quite some time.
