It’s just one more day until the UFC heavyweight championship is contested in Mexico City, Mexico, as Cain Velasquez will return to a home crowd to face the interim champ Fabricio Werdum in a unification bout. The undisputed 265-pound strap is the coveted prize, but will it be the Brazilian grappler or the Mexican brawler that takes home the marbles? As usual, we’ll be providing the live stream of the UFC 188 weigh-in here on LowKickMMA from 5 PM EST.

As we as the Mexican fight boss and his Brazilian interim counterpart, there’s a lightweight battle for the ages as feisty sluggers Eddie Alvarez and Gilbert Melendez go head-to-head in the co-main event. Nate Marquardt will take on the rebounding Kelvin Gastelum also on the main card, as ‘Mini-Cain’ makes his middleweight debut, featherweight prospects Yair Rodriguez and Charles Rosa will collide, and there’s an awesome women’s strawweight duel between Tecia Torres and Angela Hill to open the PPV (pay-per-view) main card.

Update

A welterweight battle between Andrew Todhunter and Albert Tumenov has been scrapped from the card, as Todhunter was deemed not medically fit to fight, following ‘issues’ during weight cutting.
