MILWAUKEE – MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) was on scene for today’s official fighter weigh-ins for UFC 164, where all 24 fighters successfully made weight for Saturday’s card.

In the main event, Benson Henderson (19-2 MMA, 7-0 UFC) meets Anthony Pettis (16-2 MMA, 3-1 UFC) in a rematch nearly three years in the making. Pettis took Henderson’s WEC title in December 2010 in that promotion’s final event. But Henderson captured the belt a little more than a year into his current UFC run, and Pettis has been chasing him ever since.

On Saturday, he gets his chance – and he gets to try to do it in front of his home crowd in Milwaukee, where he was born and raised and still lives and trains. Pettis got a big ovation from the crowd, as would be expected. Pettis was a pound under at 154, while Henderson came in at 155.

The co-main event features a pair of former UFC heavyweight champions in Josh Barnett (32-6 MMA, 4-1 UFC) and Frank Mir (16-7 MMA, 14-7 UFC). Barnett returns to the UFC for the first time since 2002.

Also on the card, Clay Guida (30-13 MMA, 10-7 UFC) meets Chad Mendes (14-1 MMA, 5-1 UFC) in a featherweight contenders bout; Ben Rothwell (32-9 MMA, 2-3 UFC) of nearby Kenosha, Wis., meets Brandon Vera (12-6 MMA, 8-6 UFC) at heavyweight; and Milwaukee-trained Erik Koch (13-2 MMA, 2-1 UFC) fights Dustin Poirier (13-3 MMA, 5-2 UFC) in a featherweight bout.

Friday’s weigh-ins took place at Bradley Center in Milwaukee, the same venue that hosts Saturday’s card. The main card airs on pay-per-view (10 p.m. ET). Prelims air on FOX Sports 1 (8 p.m. ET) and stream on Facebook (6:30 p.m. ET).
