UFC London weigh-ins LIVE: Latest updates as Paddy Pimblett, Tom Aspinall and other fighters hit scales

Re-live our coverage as fighters weighed in before Saturday’s event at the O2 Arena

UFC 4 - Conor McGregor

Every fighter successfully weighed in this morning ahead of Saturday’s UFC London card, which takes place just four months after the MMA promotion’s last visit to the English capital.

Paddy Pimblett, the Liverpudlian fan favourite who is known to balloon in weight between fights, was among the names tipping the scales, as was headliner Tom Aspinall, who is preparing for a heavyweight clash with Curtis Blaydes. While “Paddy The Baddy” and lightweight opponent Jordan Leavitt traded barbs at Wednesday’s media day, Wigan fighter Aspinall and American Blaydes have been cordial to one another thus far. Elsewhere, Pimblett’s fellow Scouser Molly McCann will be in action on Saturday, while former UFC light heavyweight title challenger Alexander Gustafsson adds some extra prestige to the card at the O2 Arena.

Meanwhile, the co-main event sees Jack Hermansson go head to head with American Chris Curtis, who steps in for injured Liverpudlian Darren Till to take on the Swedish-born Norwegian. With fighters having partaken in the official weigh-ins in Canary Wharf this morning, they then took part in the ceremonial weigh-ins later in the day, when fans gathered to cheer them on at the O2. Re-live updates from the official and ceremonial UFC London weigh-ins, below.
