UFC 191 is upon us, but before the bell rings on Saturday, all 22 competing athletes must hit the scales on Friday.
In the main event, Demetrious Johnson defends his flyweight title against John Dodson for the second time. Dodson was Johnson's opponent for his first title defense, and it was an interesting fight. Dodson knocked the champion down and missed the chance to finish the fight in the second round. Johnson rebounded and started to pull away for a unanimous-decision victory.
Heavyweight veterans Andrei Arlovski and Frank Mir will try to state their respective cases for a title shot in the co-main event. Mir has won back-to-back fights, while Arlovski has won five straight contests. In the shallow heavyweight division, a win at UFC 191 should put one of them in position to contend.
Nine other bouts help fill out the card, and Bleacher Report will have full coverage of the weigh-in proceedings at 7 p.m. ET. Come back later tonight for all the updates.
