The official weigh-in for UFC 204 has come and gone, and, yes, we have a title fight.
Michael Bisping (185) and Dan Henderson (184) both made weight for the middleweight title tilt that headlines the action in Manchester, England. The contest is a rematch of the famed UFC 100 meeting that saw Henderson stiffen Bisping with his patented “H-Bomb.” Now, Bisping is champion and Henderson is seeking UFC gold one last time in his final MMA fight.
It’s not the only middleweight fight on the card.
Contenders Vitor Belfort (186) and Gegard Mousasi (185) will be the co-main event. A win is not likely to grant either man a title shot, but it will move them in the right direction toward their goal.
Also in action, heavyweights Stefan Struve (265) and Daniel Omielanczuk (239) are set to square off. And in the light heavyweight division, Ovince Saint Preux (205) returns to the Octagon to battle with Jimi Manuwa (205).
The weigh-in was not without its drama. As the clock ticked away, Ian Entwistle did not step on the scale. The UFC’s Europe Twitter account tweeted that he was taken off due to illness. He was scheduled to take on Rob Font on the card.
With the official weigh-ins completed, everyone can now turn their attention to the dog and pony show exhibition later today. The fighters will tip the scales again, sort of, for the fans at 1 p.m. ET, but they are officially on weight and the event is set.
Bleacher Report will continue its coverage of UFC 204. Stick around.
