UFC Abu Dhabi weigh-in results: Magomed Ankalaev vs. Bogdan Guskov set

All fighters competing at UFC Abu Dhabi successfully made weight on Friday, setting the stage for Saturday's card in the United Arab Emirates. The light heavyweight main event features Magomed Ankalaev and Bogdan Guskov, both weighing in at 205.5 pounds.
Guskov stepped in on short notice—less than two weeks—to replace Khalil Rountree Jr. in the five-round headliner. The bout carries significant title implications. Ankalaev, a former champion, lost his belt to Alex Pereira in October and is seeking to rebuild his case for another shot at gold. Guskov, meanwhile, arrives undefeated over his past five UFC appearances and is positioned to enter the title conversation with a victory.
The co-main event pairs Steve Erceg, a one-time UFC title challenger, against Ramazan Temirov at flyweight (both 126 pounds). The full card spans two sessions on Paramount+: the main card airs at 12 p.m. ET, with prelims beginning at 9 a.m. ET.
