 Weigh-In Wrap up: UFC: Lewis v Oleninik

Derrick Lewis vs. Aleksei Oleinik headlines UFC's Aug. 8 event

Weigh-In Wrap Up: Aleksei Oleinik weighed in at 227lbs. Lewis weighed in at 265lbs. That will be a 38lb difference. We will have to see how Oleinik will deal with the extra weigh of Lewis. Beneil Dariush missed weight at 158lbs. Tim Means missed at 172.5lbs. Laureano Staropoli missed at 174lbs.

Sidebar: Corey Anderson has signed with Bellator. He asked for his a release from his contract and the UFC granted it in a surprising move. He went 9-5 in his UFC career with his last fight being a KO lose to Jan Blachowicz in the first round. At only 30 years old this is an odd move in the prime of his career. Phil Davis made the same move at a similar point in his career but besides him and Ryan Bader, there is nobody to fight over there. I wish him the best and hope he returns to the UFC when the time is right for him.

The UFC also announced two big title fights for UFC 255 on November 21st. Deiveson Figuriedo vs Cody Garbrandt for the 125lbs mens title and Valentina Shevchenko vs Jennifer Maia for the 125lbs womens belt. The main event will be the winner of the two title fights for the ULTIMATE 125lbs champ.😂 Last part is just a joke and not real. Super excited for these fights, hope everyone makes it there healthy. 

Picks drop tomorrow. Updated record: 80-42👊
