UFC Vegas 124 weigh-in results: Waldo Cortes-Acosta has 23-pound edge over Johnny Walker in main event

Waldo Cortes-Acosta weighed in at 262 pounds for his UFC Vegas 124 heavyweight main event, establishing a 23-pound advantage over opponent Johnny Walker, who registered at 239 pounds. The matchup was organized on short notice after an injury to Sean Brady scrapped the original welterweight headliner against Gabriel Bonfim. All 28 fighters scheduled for Saturday's event at the Meta Apex in Las Vegas successfully made weight.

In the co-main event, top strawweight contenders Tatiana Suarez and Virna Jandiroba also hit their marks, weighing in at 115.5 pounds and 116 pounds, respectively. The bout holds major divisional significance as both fighters look to remain in title contention following previous championship challenges.
