The UFC Oklahoma weigh-in results are official. Every main card fighter hit their number on Friday, July 17, ahead of Saturday’s card at Paycom Center. Two fighters further down the card missed weight, and one of them has never done that before in his career.
Main Event Makes Weight Without Drama
Dricus Du Plessis stepped on the scale first and hit 185.5 pounds. Kamaru Usman followed and came in at 186 pounds, using the full one-pound allowance for a non-title fight. Both men are within the middleweight limit. This fight happens as scheduled on Saturday night.
Usman’s return to 185 pounds carries extra context most previews skip. He spent the last stretch chasing a welterweight title shot against Islam Makhachev after beating Joaquin Buckley. The UFC instead booked Makhachev against Ian Machado Garry next month. That decision pushed Usman back to middleweight sooner than he likely planned.
Co-Main Event: Cannonier vs Duncan Confirmed
Jared Cannonier made weight right at the championship limit of 185 pounds. Christian Leroy Duncan came in half a pound over at 185.5, still inside the non-title allowance. Neither man had any issue on the scale. Their bout stays intact as the co-main event of UFC Oklahoma.
Chase Hooper Misses Weight for the First Time
Chase Hooper has fought 13 times inside the UFC. He has never missed weight until now. Hooper weighed in at 157.5 pounds against Mitch Ramirez, who made the lightweight limit at 155.5. The bout is expected to proceed as a catchweight fight, with a purse penalty likely for Hooper.
This detail matters more than most weigh-in reports suggest. Hooper built his reputation partly on being a reliable professional outside the cage. A first-career miss at 32 years old, or after over a decade on the roster, raises real questions about his camp and weight-cutting process heading into this fight.
Ezra Elliott Also Fails to Make Weight
Ezra Elliott opens the card against Damien Anderson in a featherweight bout. Elliott weighed in at 147.5 pounds, 2.5 pounds over the 145-pound limit. Anderson made weight at 146 pounds. The UFC has not confirmed a fine or bout status change as of Friday.

Why This Card Matters for Oklahoma City
This event marks a rare UFC return to Oklahoma City. The promotion last fought here in 2017, meaning local fans waited close to a decade for the organization to come back. That gap is one reason ticket demand and local buzz around this card ran higher than a typical Fight Night event.

Final Takeaway
The UFC Oklahoma weigh-in results confirm the main event and co-main event as scheduled, with no changes to the top of the card.
