TORONTO – MMAjunkie.com was on scene for today’s official fighter weigh-ins for UFC 165, where all 26 fighters successfully made weight for Saturday’s card.

In the main event, light heavyweight champion Jon Jones (18-1 MMA, 12-1 UFC) takes on top contender Alexander Gustafsson (15-1 MMA, 7-1 UFC). Jones is looking for his sixth straight title defense, which would break the UFC’s record in the 205-pound division. Both the champion and Gustafsson weighed in at 204.5 pounds.

The co-main event is a title fight between interim bantamweight champ Renan Barao (30-1 MMA, 5-0 UFC) and former WEC champion Eddie Wineland (20-8-1 MMA, 2-2 UFC). The winner either will go on to meet champion Dominick Cruz, who has been sidelined for nearly two years, to unify the belts – or will become the 135-pound champion if the UFC elects to strip Cruz of his belt. Both fighters were 135 pounds on the button.

Also on the main card, former “TUF 10? contestants Matt Mitrione (6-2 MMA, 6-2 UFC) and Brendan Schaub (9-3 MMA, 5-3 UFC) meet in a fight that has become the most heated on the card. Francis Carmont (21-7 MMA, 5-0 UFC) takes on Constantinos Philippou (12-2 MMA, 5-1 UFC) in a middleweight bout. And Pat Healy (29-16 MMA, 0-1 UFC) returns from a 90-day suspension looking to hand Khabib Nurmagomedov (20-0 MMA, 4-0 UFC) the first loss of his career.

Friday’s weigh-ins took place at Maple Leaf Square outside Toronto’s Air Canada Centre, the venue that hosts Saturday’s card. UFC 165 has a main card on pay-per-view following prelims on FOX Sports 1 and Facebook.
