Following Thursday’s early morning weigh-in, UFC 207 is now the official return of former bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey. She will challenge current champion Amanda Nunes on Friday in Las Vegas in the UFC 207 main event.
Rousey was the first person on the scale in Las Vegas. She made a beeline for the scale, hit 135 pounds on the mark, and then swiftly exited the room. She didn’t even remain on the scale long enough to pose for photographers, keeping the “media blackout” storyline running.
The champion also stepped on the scale early, weighing 135 pounds a few minutes after Rousey exited the room.
A second bantamweight fight also dons the card, as men’s 135-pound champion Dominick Cruz will put his belt on the line against Cody Garbrandt in the night’s co-headliner.
Cruz and Garbrandt both weighed in within the first 20 minutes of the proceedings, as well, assuring that both championship bouts got the green light.
