UFC 205 is just about 24 hours away! The last stop before the Octagon's debut in Madison Square Garden? The "ceremonial" weigh-ins, of course!
The real weigh-ins occurred earlier today, with the fighters' weights listed as follows (c/o Bleacher Report's own Nathan McCarter):
UFC 205 Main Card (10 p.m. ET, PPV)
- Eddie Alvarez (154.6) vs. Conor McGregor (154.4)
- Tyron Woodley (169.8) vs. Stephen Thompson (169)
- Joanna Jedrzejczyk (114.4) vs. Karolina Kowalkiewicz (114.4)

UFC 205 Prelims (8 p.m. ET, Fox Sports 1)
- Frankie Edgar (145.4) vs. Jeremy Stephens (145.8)
- Khabib Nurmagomedov (155.8) vs. Michael Johnson (155.8)
- Rafael Natal (185.4) vs. Tim Boetsch (185.4)
- Vicente Luque (170.6) vs. Belal Muhammad (170)

Two fights have been scrapped from the card recently.
First, Rashad Evans vs. Tim Kennedy, which was set to take place on the FS1 preliminary card, has been scrapped due to an undisclosed medical issue related to Evans. The cause of the cancellation is unknown at this time, but the fight has since been rescheduled for UFC 206.
Second, Kelvin Gastelum vs. Donald Cerrone was nixed due to the former's inability to make weight. He has long struggled with the cut to 170 pounds, and this most likely ends his time as a welterweight. Cerrone was pulled from the card and, according to Fox Sports' Damon Martin, will join Evans and Kennedy at UFC 206 for a fight opposite fan favorite Matt Brown.
