The Fox Theatre in Atlanta, Georgia hosted today’s official weigh-ins for this Saturday’s (April 21, 2012) UFC 145: Jones vs. Evans event.
Twenty-four fighters stepped onto the scales with all but one making weight for their match.
Headliners, UFC light heavyweight champ Jon Jones (205) and opponent Rashad Evans (204) were on weight for their title bout, along with co-main event welterweights Rory MacDonald (169.5) and Che Mills (170).
The only fighter not to make weight was UFC lightweight John Makdessi who weighed in at 158-lbs for his match with Anthony Njokuani. Instead of taking the extra time to cut weight, Makdessi opted to lose 20% of his purse to Njokuani.
UFC 145: Jones vs. Evans will take place tomorrow from the Philips Arena in Atlanta, Georgia with portions of the event appearing on Facebook, FX television, and pay-per-view.
