UFC Vegas 81 Fight Night event is scheduled for Saturday night (October 14th) at the Apex Facility in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Sodiq Yusuff and Edson Barboza will headline the event in a featherweight matchup. During the official weigh-ins on Friday, Yusuff registered a weight of 145.5 pounds, while Barboza weighed in at 146 pounds.
Additionally, Jennifer Maia and Viviane Araujo will be in the co-main event of UFC Vegas 81, competing in a women's flyweight bout. Maia weighed in at 125 pounds, while Araujo weighed 126 pounds.
According to a recent UFC press release, the scheduled catchweight rematch between Edgar Chairez and Daniel Lacerda was called off after the weigh-ins, owing to an undisclosed medical concern unrelated to weight on Lacerda's part.
The pair had previously clashed at the Noche UFC event in September. However, their flyweight bout was declared a no contest due to a referee error. In the first round, referee Chris Tognoni mistakenly believed that Lacerda had been choked unconscious by Chairez's standing guillotine and stopped the fight prematurely.
The 27-year-old Brazilian immediately contested the decision, and upon reviewing video footage, the officials at ringside determined that Tognoni had made a mistake, leading to the fight being officially declared a no contest.
