WINNIPEG – MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) was on scene for today’s official fighter weigh-ins for UFC 161, where all 22 competitors made weight for Saturday’s card.

In the main event, former light heavyweight champion Rashad Evans (17-3-1 MMA, 12-3-1 UFC) meets former PRIDE champ Dan Henderson (29-9 MMA, 6-3 UFC) in a highly anticipated bout between two likely future UFC Hall of Famers. Evans, who is looking to snap the first losing skid of his career, weighed in at 206 pounds. Henderson, who also is looking for a return to the win column after a split-decision loss to former champ Lyoto Machida in February, was 204.

The main card in Winnipeg took some injury hits in the past month, but that opened the door for a heavyweight bout between Roy Nelson (19-7 MMA, 6-3 UFC) and Stipe Miocic (9-1 MMA, 3-1 UFC). Nelson hopes to extend his three-fight win streak – all first-round knockouts, including two bonuses – in the final fight on his current UFC deal. He was 260, while Miocic came in at 243.

The first UFC women’s bout on Canadian soil features the promotional debuts of bantamweights Alexis Davis (13-5 MMA, 0-0 UFC) and Rosi Sexton (13-2 MMA, 0-0 UFC). Davis was 134 pounds, while Sexton, whose past three fights have been wins under the Cage Warriors banner, was 135.5.

Heavyweight friends Pat Barry (8-5 MMA, 5-5 UFC) and Shawn Jordan (14-4 MMA, 2-1 UFC) were 245 and 248, respectively, for their main-card scrap. And Canada’s Ryan Jimmo (17-2 MMA, 1-1 UFC) came in 206 pounds for his light heavyweight bout against Igor Pokrajac (25-9 MMA, 4-4 UFC), who also was 206.

Friday’s weigh-ins took place at the home of the NHL’s Winnipeg Jets, MTS Centre in Winnipeg, which also hosts Saturday’s card. The main card airs on pay-per-view (10 p.m. ET). Prelims air on FX (8 p.m. ET) and stream on Facebook (7 p.m. ET).
