The Ultimate Fighting Championship returns to pay-per-view this weekend with a championship double-header as UFC 209 takes place at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
In the main event, welterweight champion Tyron Woodley and No. 1 contender Stephen Thompson go head-to-head in a rematch of their November 2016 matchup which ended in a draw at Madison Square Garden.
The two men will be looking to settle the score with the belt once again on the line.
In the co-main event, top-ranked lightweights Khabib Nurmagomedov and Tony Ferguson square off for the interim 155-pound title.
Before the fighters can step into the Octagon on Saturday night, they must successfully hit the scales for the official weigh-in on Friday. Later in the evening, a ceremonial weigh-in will take place with all fighters squaring off for the fans in attendance.
A live stream of today’s festivities will be available beginning at 7 p.m. ET:
