UFC 207 Weigh-In Results: Johny Hendricks Misses Weight
Taking place in Las Vegas tomorrow (Friday December 30) is the blockbuster UFC 207. The pay-per-view will round off a wild 2016 for the UFC, and usher in a new year. Sitting for the last time as UFC co-commentator, 20-year veteran of the promotion Mike Goldberg will wave goodbye after UFC 207. Ironically there might be an ‘interim’ analyst who will join Joe Rogan, while talks still reportedly continue with Jim Rome. Where the fights are concerned, UFC 207 has some big star power and pivotal fights to deliver.
Heading the event is women’s bantamweight boss Amanda Nunes, as she looks to make Ronda Rousey pay for the ‘disrespect’ leading up to their clash. In terms of Rousey’s media blackout, you will want to tune in to the weigh-in show at 6 PM ET, as it’s the only live appearance she’ll be making, aside from the early weigh-ins. Expect a tense staredown at the traditional show. Co-main event stars Dominick Cruz and Cody Garbrandt have shared a heated feud, and ‘The Dominator’ will look to keep his 135-pound belt, but it’s against a hard hitter in ‘No Love.
And Still or And New?
TJ Dillashaw and John Lineker duke it out, but there’s no guarantee of a title shot for the winner of this bantamweight scrap. After Velasquez vs. Werdum fell through, Dong Hyun Kim vs. Tarec Saffiedine, and Ray Borg vs Louis Smolka were promoted to the main card. Former welterweight champ Johny Hendricks faces Neil Magny in the FS1 feature prelim.
