It's on!
Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) recently wrapped its UFC on FOX 18 weigh in event for "Johnson vs. Bader," which took place earlier today (Fri., Jan. 29, 2016) inside Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, host venue for tomorrow night's mixed martial arts (MMA) extravaganza on FOX.
In the main event of the evening, top light heavyweight contenders Anthony Johnson and Ryan Bader will collide with a potential 205-pound title shot on the line. At the conclusion of today's weigh-in festivities, "Rumble" and "Darth" came face-to-face for the benefit of those with flash photography.

In the UFC on FOX 18 co-main event, heavyweight hurters Josh Barnett and Ben Rothwell throw hands to see who gets one step closer to a 265-pound title shot. And as you might expect, "The Warmaster" had a chance to square off with "Big Ben" in "Dirty Jersey."
