Ryan Garcia vs Conor Benn Weigh-In Results: All Set for Grudge Match
Ryan Garcia and Conor Benn are finally done talking.
Under the bright lights of the T-Mobile Arena weigh-in stage in Las Vegas, the WBC Welterweight champion and the British contender both hit their marks on Friday, clearing the last hurdle before their grudge match on Saturday night, live on Paramount+.
Garcia, the star attraction at 147 pounds, came in at 145.5 lbs, looking lean and sharp. Benn, the rugged pressure fighter from Britain, registered 146 lbs, well within the welterweight limit. No drama on the scales. No excuses left. Just a fight that has been simmering for months and now has a green light.
Opetaia–Mikaelian Set for Cruiserweight Collision
If Garcia–Benn is the needle-mover, the co-main is pure menace.
Jai Opetaia, one of the most avoided men at cruiserweight, weighed in at 199 lbs as he prepared to defend his Zuffa Boxing and The Ring Cruiserweight titles. Across from him, WBC 200-pound champion Noel Mikaelian hit the full 200 lbs, a statement in itself for a man who relies on strength and physicality.
Two belts, two champions, one ring. No catchweights, no confusion. This is a straight clash for supremacy at 200 pounds, and both men looked like they’d been carved for the occasion.
Undercard Locked and Loaded
The scale told its own story across the rest of the card.
- At lightweight, Mark Magsayo tipped 134.5 lbs, with Andres Cortes right on the 135-lb limit. That matchup promises sharp exchanges and high tempo, with both men clearly dialed in.
- Heavyweight power follows. Damazion Vanhouter checked in at 234.5 lbs, giving away size to Raphael Akpejiori, who came in at a solid 246 lbs. One brings mobility and speed, the other raw size and thudding power. The contrast is obvious; the outcome is anything but.
- Lower down the card, Oswaldo Molina (131.5 lbs) and Pablo Rubio (131 lbs) both made 132 comfortably, setting up a clash that should favor volume and work rate over brute force.
- At 168 lbs, Abel Gonzalez (167.5) and Raul Salomon (167) both slid under the super middleweight limit without issue, looking composed and ready. At 154, Vlad Panin (151.5) and Dakota Linger (150.5) also came in light, suggesting movement and pace could define their bout.
- Welterweight stays busy throughout the night. Jose Ramirez and Alex Rocha both hit 146.5 lbs, a perfect mirror on the scale and a potential war once the bell rings.
- There was one oddity on the sheet: Sean Garcia and Abraham Morales both weighed in at 134 lbs but are listed at 147. The numbers are official; the paperwork will have to catch up to the reality on the scale.
All Eyes on Saturday Night
The formalities are done. No missed weights. No last-minute chaos.
Ryan Garcia and Conor Benn stared each other down knowing that the next time they meet, there will be nowhere to hide. Titles, reputations, and future paydays are all on the line in a city that never forgets who delivers under the lights.
