In the middle of the jam-packed BC Fight Week, the ADXC 3 athletes faced their very first challenge in Balneário Camboriú ahead of the tournament: The dreaded scales in the Abu Dhabi Extreme Championship ceremonial weigh-ins.
Held with a great show this Friday, the ceremonial weigh-ins featured not only the confirmation of all the fights on the card but also put the athletes face-to-face as they stared each other down, adding even more heat to the tournament, which takes place next Saturday, March 2nd.
In addition to confirming all 14 fights of the card that will feature Bruno Lima against Jansen Gomes and Beatriz Mesquita against Jennifer Maia in the Main Events, the ceremony also gave a glimpse into how much each athlete will be weighing for the upcoming tournament.
