The Adames-Warburton bout is not at the full SMW limit but rather a 165-lb catchweight. Not sure how that will play out for Adames' future fights where he is supposed to defend his title at MW.Taansend wrote: ↑01 Nov 2026, 13:40 I just saw that Adames is fighting in 2 weeks in Saudi against Taffy Gerome Warburton, the bloke who beat Nathan Heaney.
At 168.
Bruno Surace has his first fight since the loss to Munguia on the same card. Also at 168.
Maybe they're building a fight between them two?
It will be interesting to find out if the Surace-Bednarek fight is also at a catchweight. I know it's listed as a SMW bout, but that could be just because it's over the MW limit.
In addition, I was under the impression that Zuffa was keeping its weight classes to a minimum, including no SMW and no SWW. However, that kind of went out the window when they had Berlanga fight Butler at SMW.
