Mark Hunt has made weight ahead of his co-main event bout against Brock Lesnar at UFC 200 in Las Vegas tomorrow.
In a drama-filled week for the UFC, they also nearly had another crisis on their hands as women's bantamweight champion Miesha Tate (18-5) only just beat the clock to
weigh-in.
Under a new weigh-in regime, which is being trialled at a range of events this year, fighters jump on the scales earlier in the morning and then take part in the unofficial, televised weigh-in later in the day. Today's weigh-ins took place from 8am-10am local time in Las Vegas.
This is done to give fighters more time to rehydrate after they have made weight.
Hunt (12-10-1), a man that needs to drop a few kilograms to make the UFC's 265-pound (120.2kg) heavyweight limit, tipped the scales at 264.5 pounds, while Lesnar (5-3), a 38-year-old behemoth who cuts weight to make the limit, was 265.5 pounds. Fighters are given one pound of grace in non-title bouts.
