LAS VEGAS – MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) was on scene for today’s official fighter weigh-ins for UFC 162, where all 22 competitors made weight for Saturday’s card.

In the main event, UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva (33-4 MMA, 16-0 UFC) goes after his 11th title defense against top contender Chris Weidman (9-0 MMA, 5-0 UFC).

Silva and Weidman nearly scuffled during their face-off before being separated by UFC President Dana White. The two got nose-to-nose and words were exchanged in a tense moment on stage.

In the co-main event former lightweight champion Frankie Edgar (15-4-1 MMA, 9-4-1 UFC) meets Charles Oliveira (16-3 MMA, 4-3 UFC). The fight will be Edgar’s first non-title fight since 2010 – he’s fought in seven straight championship fights, six of which went the full five rounds.

Also on the main card, middleweights Roger Gracie (6-1 MMA, 0-0 UFC) and Tim Kennedy (15-4 MMA, 0-0 UFC) make their UFC debuts after the merger with Strikeforce. Tim Boetsch (16-5 MMA, 7-4 UFC) takes on Mark Munoz (12-3 MMA, 7-3 UFC) in a key bout at 185 pounds. And Dennis Siver (21-8 MMA, 10-5 UFC) opens the pay-per-view portion of the show against fellow featherweight contender Cub Swanson (19-5 MMA, 4-1 UFC).

Friday’s weigh-ins took place at Mandalay Bay Events Center. The nearby MGM Grand Garden Arena hosts Saturday’s card. The main card airs on pay-per-view (10 p.m. ET). Prelims air on FX (8 p.m. ET) and stream on Facebook (7 p.m. ET).
