Before the explosive battles set to take place today, January 19th, the ADXC 2 fighters had to overcome a different but no less dangerous foe: The scales.
The Ceremonial Weigh-ins were held last Thursday, January 18th, with all of the upcoming tournament’s roster not only clearing their weights and qualifying to step onto the ADXC cage but also taking the chance to have one last staredown before they meet on the battlefield.
Among the highlights, Aljamain Sterling and Chase Hooper both weighed within the 77kg threshold, Pouya Rahmani hit 114.3kg while Denzel Freeman landed at 117.2kg for their 120kg duel, and Terrance McKinney reached 77.9kg while Sidney Outlaw took it to the limit and weighed 81.5kg for the upcoming 81.6kg match.
With the ceremony completed, all the athletes have cleared their goals and the ADXC 2 can proceed without any last-minute changes.
