UFC on ESPN 18 weigh-ins: One fighter misses

UFC on ESPN 18, also known as UFC Vegas 15, UFC on ESPN: Blaydes vs. Lewis, will be held on Saturday, November 28, 2020, at the UFC APEX in Las Vegas, Nevada. The weigh-ins will be held on Friday, November 27, at Noon ET (9:00 a.m. local time), and will stream live on The UnderGround from the APEX.

In the main event, Curtis Blaydes (ranked #2 in the heavyweight division) fights Derrick Lewis (ranked #4). Blaydes is on a four-fight win streak; the only man to beat him in his 17-fight career is Francis Ngannou, who did it twice). In 2017 Blaydes saw a win in Texas changed to a No Contest when “Razor” tested positive for the demon weed marijuana. Lewis, a huge fan favorite, is on a three-fight win streak.
