Today, all the bouts on the UFC 169 card will be made official as the fighters step on the scales at the official weigh-ins. Watch the live stream of the weigh-ins right here on Fansided at 4 PM ET. Tomorrow’s event features two championship bouts. In the co-main event of the evening, long time Featherweight champion, Jose Aldo, will look to defend his belt yet again against a new challenger, Ricardo Lamas. The main event is the Bantamweight championship rematch between Urijah Faber and Renan Barao.
UFC Heavyweights, Frank Mir and Alistair Overeem, are the third featured fight of the evening. Both men are on losing streaks and need to perform tomorrow night in order to keep their spot on the UFC roster.
Another interesting thing to watch out for is when John Lineker hits the scales. In 5 UFC Flyweight bouts, Lineker has missed weight 3 times. Dana White has stated that Lineker would have already been given a title shot if he had made weight. If Lineker can make weight today, and make it 5 in a row tomorrow night, expect him to challenge Demetrious Johnson for the title later this year.
