CURITIBA, Brazil – UFC champ Conor McGregor will have to cross “biggest weigh-in” off his list of accomplishments, because after today’s UFC 198 weigh-in, there’s a new record-holder in town.

UFC officials, who issued tickets, tell MMAjunkie that 15,000 fans attended today’s UFC 198 weigh-in event in Curitiba, Parana, Brazil.

The number would represent a new company record, shattering the previous high of roughly 10,000 for UFC 189 weigh-ins in July. That event was headlined by an interim featherweight title bout between McGregor and Chad Mendes.

UFC 198, meanwhile, goes down Saturday at Arena da Baixada with the main card airing on pay-per-view following prelims on FOX Sports 1 and UFC Fight Pass.

A heavyweight championship fight between champ Fabricio Werdum (20-5-1 MMA, 8-2 UFC) and challenger Stipe Miocic (14-2 MMA, 8-2 UFC) headlines the card, and Brazilian star such as Vitor Belfort (25-11 MMA, 14-7 UFC), Cristiano Justino (15-1 MMA, 0-0 UFC), Mauricio Rua (23-10 MMA, 7-8 UFC) and Demian Maia (22-6 MMA, 16-6 UFC) are slated to compete, as well.

The fans came out to support the Brazilian fighters in a big way at weigh-ins, but it was welterweight Matt Brown (20-13 MMA, 13-8 UFC), who fights Maia in the featured preliminary-card bout, who stole the show with his antics.

Although UFC 198 set a new attendance record for weigh-ins, the event will not break UFC 193’s all-time attendance record, as approximately 45,000 are expected at tomorrow’s event.
