On Friday, the MGM Grand Garden Arena will play host to UFC 196 weigh-ins. All fighters participating in the event will step onto the scale for Saturday’s pay-per-view event.
UFC 196 is headlined by a welterweight bout between featherweight champion Conor McGregor and Nate Diaz. The two agreed to a 170-pound bout after McGregor’s original opponent, lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos, pulled out of the bout just over a week before the two were set to go head-to-head.
In the co-main event, women’s bantamweight champion Holly Holm puts her title on the line against Miesha Tate.
The weigh-ins can be seen in the video below beginning at 7 p.m. ET.
If previous staredowns between McGregor and Diaz are any indication, we will be in for a treat.
