Most of the 26 fighters listed for the UFC 295 card successfully met their weight requirements without complications. However, two fighters exceeded the stipulated weight limit.

Roosevelt Roberts registered a weight of 158 pounds, surpassing the non-title lightweight limit by two pounds for his bout against Mateusz Rebecki. 'The Ultimate Fighter' Season 31 contender took the fight on short notice, filling in for Nurullo Aliev, who suffered an injury during fight week.

Meanwhile, Jamall Emmers, scheduled to face Dennis Buzukja, failed to make the non-title featherweight limit by one pound, weighing in at 147 pounds.

It remains uncertain whether Roberts and Emmers' fights will proceed at a catchweight, and if so, the percentage of their purses they will forfeit as a penalty is yet to be determined.
