Everything is ready for the historic UFC 207, an event that takes place next Friday (30) and closes the 2016 Ultimate calendar. In the last appointment before the show, at the official weigh-in of the event, Amanda nunes e Ronda Rousey had different behaviors. Ronda remained silent throughout the show's promotion, while Amanda embodied the 'Lione' character and assured the audience that she is the 'true champion' (watch the weigh-in video below).

The first to enter the stage, Ronda wore a leather jacket, from a traditional fashion brand. She stepped on the scale with a serious face and only gave a slight smile when her weight was announced at 61,2 kg, the limit for the bantamweight division. Already Amanda nunes, accompanied by his girlfriend Nina ansaroff, wore the official UFC tracksuit and a 'Lioness' mask. When she stepped on the scale with the headdress on her head, she stared at her rival. At the time of the face-off, Rousey raised her fist close to Nunes, who quickly placed her arm close to her rival.
After the face-off photos, Rousey left the stage without speaking to the audience, while Amanda, to some boos, assured that she will prove that she is the best fighter in the world. 'I'm going to show everyone that I'm the true champion. Be ready,' she snapped.
The weather heated up between Cruz and Garbrandt
If the atmosphere did not heat up in the women's bantamweight belt dispute at the weigh-in, the same cannot be said about the duel for the men's title. The champion Dominick Cruz and the challenger cody garbrandt they almost started the fight a day in advance.

After passing the scale, Cruz went towards Garbrandt for the traditional face-off. The challenger, who was anxiously waiting for his rival, also walked towards the champion and called him into the fight. Dominick responded to the provocation and Dana White, president of the UFC, along with the show's security guards, had to intervene to prevent the fight.
More Brazil at UFC 207
Besides Amanda nunes, UFC 207 will have three more Brazilians in action. And none of them had difficulty making the weight in their category. On the preliminary card, Alex Cowboy used the pound (around 450g) of tolerance to beat the welterweight weight and face Tim means; Antonio from Paraíba Shoe Face also used the permission pound to confirm the dispute against the Italian Marvin vettori. In the main program, John Lineker, from Paraná, who has already had several problems with his weight, weighed 61,2 kg, the limit of the bantamweight division to measure his strength against the former champion.
