Jon Jones weighed in for the first time as a heavyweight Friday, tipping the scale for the UFC 285 main event at 248 pounds.

His opponent, Ciryl Gane, came in at 247.5 pounds ahead of their highly anticipated vacant heavyweight title fight, which headlines Saturday's pay-per-view event in Las Vegas.

Women's flyweight champion Valentina Shevchenko and Alexa Grasso were also on the mark ahead of the co-main event. Both hit 124.5 pounds.

Sergei Pavlovich weighed in as the backup fighter for Jones-Gane, making the heavyweight limit at 259 pounds.

Geoff Neal was one of two fighters who missed weight. He came in at 175 pounds, 4 pounds over the welterweight limit, for his main-card bout against Shavkat Rakhmonov.
