'CFFC 138: Fernandez vs. Ellis' weigh-in results: Champ Luke Fernandez, challenger Gregg Ellis lead drama-free morning
All 11 fights cleared without issue for Friday's event, streaming live on UFC FIGHT PASS from Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. – All 22 fighters today made weight without issue for Friday's "CFFC 138: Fernandez vs. Ellis" event, and the 11-fight lineup is now official.
The official weigh-ins took place at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City, the same venue that hosts Friday's event.
In the main event, reigning light heavyweight champion Luke Fernandez (3-0 MMA, 3-0 CFFC) looks to defend his title for the first time when he takes on Gregg Ellis (8-5 MMA, 1-1 CFFC), the former CFFC middleweight champion who is moving up and looking to capture a title in a second weight class.
Both fighters made weight comfortably at 205.2 pounds, using just a fraction of the one-pound allowance afforded athletes in CFFC title fights.
Meanwhile, Georgia's Roman Kurashvili (7-4 MMA, 0-0 CFFC) did need two trips to the scale to make his featherweight contest with Frank Wells (5-4 MMA, 5-4 CFFC) official, but was right on the 146-pound limit in his second attempt.
Ben Coyle (4-4 MMA, 1-2 CFFC) also used two trips to the scale to make the flyweight contest with Alex "The Boss" De La Cruz (3-1 MMA, 0-0 CFFC) official, but was comfortably under the limit at 124.8 pounds in his return.
A previously scheduled matchup between Angel Alvarez (8-2 MMA, 1-0 CFFC) and Dylan Mantello (8-4 MMA, 2-0 CFFC) was scratched earlier in the week, with "The Quiet Man" suffering an injury in training and withdrawing from the contest.
