UFC on ESPN 56 Weigh-in Results: 1 Fight Canceled
Tyler Treese May 10, 2024
The Ultimate Fighting Championship returns to ESPN airwaves this weekend with a heavyweight main event.
UFC on ESPN 56 main event fighters Derrick Lewis and Rodrigo Nascimento both made weight for the 12-fight card. Both men weighed near the 266-pound limit, so there won't be a major weight difference. All fighters made weight except for Jared Gooden, who suffered a medical issue and didn't weigh in, thus canceling his welterweight fight against Kevin Jousset.

Meanwhile, this is the first UFC main event for Nascimento (11-1, 1 NC). "Yogi Bear" is riding a three-fight win streak over Tanner Boser, Ilir Latifi and Don'Tale Mayes. All of those wins came via decision, although the 265-pound heavyweight may look to show off his submission game against Lewis.
UFC on ESPN 56 will air on ESPN and ESPN+ in its entirety on Saturday. Prelims begin at 4 p.m. ET/1 p.m. PT, while the main card starts at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT.
