LAS VEGAS – Johny Hendricks had some trouble his last time out and never made it to the scale for UFC 192.
But today, the former welterweight champion was right on the money for his UFC Fight Night 82 main event against Stephen Thompson (11-1 MMA, 6-1 UFC). Hendricks (17-3 MMA, 12-3 UFC) managed his weight during his training camp in part thanks to nutritionist Louis Giordano and came in at 170 pounds on the button.
In addition, the co-main event fighters didn’t have to worry about making weight – well, much, anyway. Heavyweights Roy Nelson (20-12 MMA, 7-8 UFC) and Jared Rosholt (14-2 MMA, 6-1 UFC) took to the scale, as well.
Check out the highlights from Friday’s weigh-in ceremony at Grand Ballroom at MGM Grand Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas. The attached MGM Grand Garden Arena hosts Saturday’s card, which airs on FOX Sports 1 after early prelims on UFC Fight Pass.
