The official weigh in event for UFC on FOX 7: "Henderson vs. Melendez" took place today (Fri., April 20, 2013) from the HP Pavilion in San Jose, California.
All fighters hit their respective weights, though Nate Diaz did have an interesting time on the scale, as he had to strip down to his birthday suit and it took quite a while before it was declared he hit his mark.
Still, he did.
"Henderson vs. Melendez" is headlined by a lightweight championship contest pitting reigning division kingpin Ben Henderson against former Strikeforce 155-pound titleholder Gilbert Melendez.
In the co-main event, former UFC Heavyweight Champion Frank Mir has been tasked with welcoming undefeated Olympian Daniel Cormier into the Octagon.
