UFC® 152 OFFICAL WEIGH-IN RESULTS
Las Vegas, Nevada – The Ultimate Fighting Championship® organization returns to Canada tomorrow with a stacked card featuring two world title fights. Minutes ago, the 24 fighters in action of the 12 fight card weighed in at the historic Mattamy Athletic Centre in Toronto.
Defending UFC light heavyweight champion Jon “Bones” Jones scaled 204.6 lbs, while challenger Vitor “the Young Dinosaur” Belfort hit 204.2 lbs in his first fight at the 205lbs weight class since 2007.
The two men who will make history in the first ever UFC flyweight title fight – Joseph Benavidez and Demetrious “Mighty Mouse” Johnson – scaled 124.4 lbs and 125lbs respectively while in the eagerly awaited middleweight showdown Michael “the Count” Bisping hit 185.6lbs while “All-American” Brian Stann tipped 185.4 lbs. Much like they did at yesterday’s press conference, Bisping and Stann went nose to nose in a tense stare down.
Belfort said: “I’m ready. The Young Dinosaur is ready.”
Jones said: “It’s time to defend my belt.”
