UFC 204 weigh-in results: Headliners Bisping, Henderson ready for rematch

MANCHESTER, England – MMAjunkie was on scene and reporting live from today’s early 204 fighter weigh-ins, where all fighters successfully made weight.

The early weigh-ins, which precede this evening’s ceremonial affair at Radisson Blu Edwardian, took place in Manchester, England. The ceremonial weigh-ins take place at 1 p.m. ET at Central Hall in Manchester Central. The nearby Manchester Arena hosts Saturday’s event, which includes a main card on pay-per-view following prelims on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass.

UFC officials recently adopted the early weigh-ins to allow fighters more time to rehydrate before the event.

Middleweight champion Michael Bisping (29-7 MMA, 19-7 UFC) and challenger Dan Henderson (32-12 MMA, 9-8 UFC), who headline the event, were both under the 185-pound limit. The lone hiccup during weigh-ins involved Ian Entwistle (9-3 MMA, 1-2 UFC), who became ill and was forced out of his planned bantamweight bout with Rob Font (12-2 MMA, 2-1 UFC), who had successfully weighed in at 134 pounds.

In addition to the official results below, you can watch a live video stream of the ceremonial weigh-ins here on MMAjunkie at 1 p.m. ET.
