The biggest fight card of the year is upon us, and the 11-fight slate is nearly official. All that is left is for the fighters to hit the scales Friday evening.
Conor McGregor was supposed to meet Jose Aldo, but an injury forced the featherweight champion off the card. Enter Chad Mendes for an interim title tilt. The featherweight battle will headline the event with UFC welterweight champion Robbie Lawler playing second fiddle against Rory MacDonald.
Bleacher Report will have full coverage of the electric weigh-ins when they get underway.
The weigh-ins begin at 7 p.m. ET.
