Volkanovski-Lopes Rematch Secured as Weigh-In Controversy Impacts Road to UFC Final

At UFC 325 weigh-ins, Alexander Volkanovski (144.5 lb) and Diego Lopes (145 lb) made the featherweight limit for their title rematch, with Dan Hooker vs. Benoit Saint Denis also hitting the non-title limit (155.75). Aaron Tau missed weight in a late, box-referenced weigh-in, initially showing 122.5 before re-weighing at 129, which led to the cancellation of his Road to UFC Flyweight Final against Namsrai Batbayar. The rest of the card remained on schedule.
