With just over 24 hours to go before the fighters take to the cage at Manchester’s BEC Arena, they hit the scales on Friday morning at the Radisson Hotel.
Tickets for CW 178: Manchester are available here!
The Saturday night fight card will go ahead with eleven bouts following a largely drama-free weigh in.
In the evening’s main event, Luke Riley looked trim and ready ahead of his first ever Cage Warriors weigh-in, tipping the scales at a svelte 145.8lbs for his bout with Brazil’s Alexandre ‘Ja Rule’ Junior.
The pair will meet over three, five minute rounds to cap off the bill.
Elsewhere on the card, former champion Dean Trueman looked comfortable on the scales in his promotional return, registering a weight of 155.9lbs.
He’ll meet local favourite Gav Hughes, who came in bang on the 156lb limit.
In a huge clash of amateur debutants, former CWA champion Marc-Philippe Ngatchou takes on UK prospect Shay Ingram, with the pair weighing-in at 155.7lbs and 155.3lbs respectively.
Only Costin Buhnă needed additional time, after coming in 2.6lbs over the flyweight limit on his first attempt.
The Romanian returned to the scales within the two-hour window to register a weight of 127.6lbs; the bout will go ahead as planned, with Buhnă being fined a percentage of his purse.
