All 24 fighters on the UFC Vegas 123 card weighed in Friday morning in Las Vegas, clearing the way for Saturday’s event headlined by a non-title lightweight bout between Renato Moicano and Tom Nolan.

Both men must come in at or below 156 pounds for the main event. Moicano enters having snapped a two-fight losing skid with a second-round submission victory over Chris Duncan, while Nolan arrives on the back of five consecutive wins and looking to announce himself at the top of the lightweight division.

In the co-main event, Randy Brown meets late replacement Jacobe Smith at the 171-pound welterweight limit. Smith stepped in on short notice to fill the slot, adding an extra layer of unpredictability to a fight Brown will be expected to control.

The main card also features a flyweight contest between Ode Osbourne and Cody Durden, a women’s bantamweight matchup pitting Yana Santos against Luana Santos, and a lightweight bout between Jean-Paul Lebosnoyani and Farman Hasanov.

The six-fight preliminary card is headlined by featherweight prospect Francis Marshall taking on Dakota Hope, and also includes Julian Erosa vs. Jeong Yeong Lee, Rodrigo Sezinando vs. Theodor Berggren, Zachary Reese vs. Mickey Gall, Nick Klein vs. Joseph Kropschot, Talita Alencar vs. Piera Rodriguez, and Lucia Szabova vs. Tainara Lisboa.
