UFC 168 Weigh-In Results: Title Fights Are Official, Brandao 7lbs. Overweight
We are just one day away from the last UFC event of 2013, and we are set to go out with a bang. UFC 168 will go down this Saturday, headlined by the rematch between Middleweight Champion Chris Weidman and former boss Anderson Silva.
Also on the main card is some beef settling Women’s Bantamweight action, as Ronda Rousey attempts to defend her title against long-time enemy Miesha Tate. Jim Miller takes on Fabricio Camoes at Lightweight, Travis Browne will look to take out the veteran Josh Barnett and Dustin Poirer will square off against Diego Brandao.
Also featuring on the preliminary card is Chris Leben vs. Uriah Hall, Denis Siver vs. Manny Gamburyan, John Howard vs. Sayir Bahadurzada and Glieson Tibau vs. Michael Johnson. This card could easily be one of the UFC’s greatest of all time.
