Yes, most of them.
But you still have to make the weight, even if it's a day before. There has been many fighters who failed to make the weight and had to give up portions of their earnings. For a championship bout, if one fails to weight the weight, it no longer becomes a title match. Few have been kicked off the UFC for not making the weight, e.g. Gabe R.
