Watch Live Friday: UFC 323 Official Weigh-in Show on Sportsnet

UFC 323 takes place this Saturday in Las Vegas, but before the fighters step into the cage at T-Mobile Arena, they’ll need to step onto the scale at the official weigh-in.

Sportsnet’s Aaron Bronsteter will broadcast live from the UFC Apex on Friday alongside the UFC’s No. 7-ranked men’s bantamweight contender Aiemann Zahabi as they report the official weights for UFC 323 athletes and speak to some of the participating fighters.

Fans can watch the live weigh-in show on Sportsnet.ca, Sportsnet+ and Sportsnet’s YouTube channel Friday, beginning at 11:55 a.m. ET / 8:55 a.m. PT.

UFC 323 is headlined by men’s bantamweight champion Merab Dvalishvili going for his fourth title defence of 2025 in a rematch with Petr Yan. The pair fought in a five-round non-title fight in March 2023, with Dvalishvili sweeping the scorecards. Yan, a former two-time titleholder, has since won three in a row and will get his shot at redemption and look to become a three-time champ.

The co-main event will see men’s flyweight champion Alexandre Pantoja take on streaking contender Joshua Van.

There are also a handful of former champions and rising stars on the stacked undercard, including former two-weight champion and Olympic gold medallist Henry Cejudo, who will be competing in his final fight.

There will be a one-pound allowance for all non-title bouts, but Dvalishvili and Yan must weigh no more than 135 pounds with Pantoja and Van not exceeding an even 125 pounds for their title fights to be made official.

Below is the projected bout order for UFC 323 (subject to change):
