All 24 fighters on the UFC Vegas 121 card successfully stepped on the scale in Las Vegas on Friday morning, setting up a stacked Saturday night headlined by Raul Rosas Jr. taking on Raoni Barcelos in a non-title bantamweight main event.

Both Rosas Jr. and Barcelos were required to weigh in above 136 pounds for the catchweight contest, and both men arrive riding five-fight winning streaks — making the matchup one of the more compelling main events the promotion has put together at the UFC Apex in recent months.

The co-main event also carries genuine intrigue, with Norma Dumont and Ailin Perez squaring off in another non-title bantamweight bout, both fighters also required to come in at 136 pounds or above.

Elsewhere on the main card, Luis Hernandez meets Sedriques Dumas, Mehemmedeli Osmanli faces Ilimbek Akylbeck Uulu, and Melissa Amaya takes on Tina Black.

The preliminary card features a number of notable matchups, including Montel Jackson vs. Ricky Simon and Brady Hiestand vs. Rinya Nakamura, alongside Rodolfo Vieira vs. Robert Bryczek, Rodolfo Bellato vs. Christian Edwards, Elves Brener vs. Josiah Harrell, John Castaneda vs. Alatengheili, and Vanessa Demopoulos vs. Yazmin Jauregui.
