UFC President Dana White recently stated that the promotion is looking to end the early weigh-ins in favor of making the ceremonial weigh-ins the official version.
It would appear that White has spoken to many UFC fighters about the subject and he says many are in favor of eliminating the earlier weigh-ins.
?Believe me, we?ve studied it,? White said at the UFC 225 post-fight press conference. ?The numbers don?t lie. We?ve talked to fighters. A ton of fighters want to go back to 4 o?clock (weigh-ins), and there?s a lot of fighters that don?t.?
White did not mention any specific fighters who he spoke to, but a lot of those under a UFC deal have gone for and against the change via social media.
The UFC President seemingly got tired of the questions about the weigh-in situation this past weekend before saying they will happen at their old 4pm time slot.
?We still talking about weigh-ins?? White stated. ?They?re at 4 o?clock. Thank you.?
There is now word on when the later weigh-ins will officially return, as the UFC will have to work that out with the various athletic commissions.
