For Penn, the experience was his first time participating in the UFC’s early weigh-ins, which began in 2016 in order to give fighters more time to rehydrate between weigh-ins, and the time they step into the Octagon on fight night.

Penn hit the scales at 146 pounds, the limit for a featherweight non-title fight, while Yair Rodriguez hit the scales at 145 pounds.
