Two failures at UFC 205 weigh-in, ceremonial weigh-in at 6:00 p.m. ET

UFC 205 will be held on Saturday, November 12 in Madison Square Garden in New York, New York. The main card is broadcast on pay per view television, while the late prelims are broadcast on FOX Sports 1, with the early prelims streaming on UFC Fight Pass.

The ceremonial, public weigh-in ceremony and faceoff takes place on Friday, November 11, at 6 p.m. ET , and streams live on The UnderGround below, courtesy of the UFC.

There was also an official weigh-in on Friday morning that is untelevised and began around 9:00 a.m.

Fighters used to weigh-in in the early evening. Unfortunately, the body does not always rehydrate within 24 hours, leaving the brain more susceptible to injury. Many fighters took IVs in an attempt to rehydrate sufficiently. However, when the UFC selected the US Anti-Doping Agency as their independent drug testing body, the use of IVs was prohibited, as it can mask the use of PEDs.

In response, the UFC has instituted a new, safer procedure, wherein fighters are given a two-hour window in which to weigh in, on the morning of the day before the fight.

UFC 205 takes place at Madison Square Garden on Saturday, November 12th.

*Gastelum was so far over he never bothered to weigh in.

**Fight will be at a 163-pound catchweight, as Alves failed to make weight. NYSAC rules required the fighters to be within five pounds of each other, so Miller had to add weight to make the fight official. Alves has to weigh in at no more than 173 on Saturday night, for the 163-pound catchweight fight, in the 155-pound division. Alves will be fined 20% of his purse.
