The official weigh-ins for UFC 134 will take place today at the site of Saturday night’s event at HSBC Arena in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil.
The homecoming for UFC middleweight champion and proposed pound-for-pound kingpin Anderson Silva has been eagerly anticipated.
He’ll look to continue his flawless ways inside the octagon when he meets former foe and top middleweight contender Yushin Okami.
In the co-main event, former UFC light heavyweight champions Mauricio “Shogun” Rua and Forrest Griffin meet in a rematch of their September, 2007 scrap, where Griffin rebounded from a rough start and submitted the BJJ black belt with 15 seconds left in the third round.
Former Pride and UFC heavyweight champion Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira also makes his return after over a year hiatus. He’ll step right back into the fire of the deepening heavyweight division when he faces the Ultimate Fighter Season 10 finalist Brendan Schaub.
The festivities are scheduled to kick off at 3 p.m. ET. Join us for live updates as the fighters hit the scales.
