Weigh-In Results and Card Adjustments in Las Vegas
MK Sports field reporter Kim Jae-ho reported from the Nevada venue that Jung Young Lee successfully stepped on the scale at 145.5 pounds. Lee was originally scheduled to face Gaston Bolaños as a replacement for the injured Joo Sang Yoo, but that booking dissolved after a canceled weigh-in. With the scale formality safely cleared, Lee locks in his first appearance since his July 2024 bout against Hyde Amil.
His opponent, Julian Erosa, registered the exact same weight at 145.5 pounds, officially rubber-stamping the featherweight bout. The official weigh-in session saw lightweight headliner Tom Nolan clear the scale first at 155.5 pounds, while main event counterpart Renato Moicano recorded 156 pounds.
Weight-Cutting Struggles Across the Preliminary Card
Not every fighter on the card navigated the scale with the same efficiency. MK Sports reported that flyweights Ode’ Osbourne and Cody Durden required clothing removal before barely hitting the 126-pound limit. Women’s bantamweight Talita Alencar initially missed by 0.5 pounds before stripping down to hit 116 pounds. Featherweight Francis Marshall missed the limit by two pounds to record 148 pounds before rushing off the scales without posing for photographers.
