With yesterday’s weight of 197-lbs still fresh in everyone’s mind, UFC fighter Anthony ‘Rumble’ Johnson hit the scales again on Saturday, part of the bout stipulation placed on him by opponent Vitor Belfort. ‘Rumble’ would have to weigh no-more than 205-lbs on Saturday.
Johnson made the light heavyweight limit, weighing in at 204.2-lbs for the UFC 142 co-main event fight.
This means the two will fight on tonight’s live pay-per-view event for UFC 142 at the HSBC Arena in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Johnson is still not off the hook though, he still faces a 20% fine to his purse and could be facing dismissal from the UFC, whether he wins or loses, all according to promotion president Dana White.
“His Job is on the line. His job is absolutely on the line, win or lose.”
