Scheduled to meet Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos in the UFC Vegas 104 co-main event, Chidi Njokuani officially weighed in at 172.5 pounds and missed the welterweight limit by 1.25 pounds.

The scale shenanigans almost meant a whopping 23% of Saturday's 13-fight card at the UFC APEX in Las Vegas would've been contested with weight-related caveats.

Diyar Nurgozhay didn’t come close to making weight for his first UFC fight. The recent Contender Series signing tipped the scales at 210.5 pounds, 4.5 pounds over the limit (including the one-pound allowance for a non-title fight) for his main card light heavyweight bout with Brendson Ribeiro at UFC Vegas 104 on Saturday.

The UFC 313 lineup consists of 12 fights. Early prelims start at 6:30 p.m. ET, prelims at 8 p.m. ET, and the pay-per-view main card at 10 p.m. ET. As the main event, Pereira and Ankalaev are expected to walk out to the cage at approximately 12:15 a.m. ET.
