The other athletes made the weight without any major difficulties.

At the time of the traditional photo after the weigh-in, the Englishman provoked the Brazilian, calling for a closer look, just as happened at the press conference. Belfort was not intimidated and responded to his opponent. At this point, the fighters had to be restrained so that the fight did not start a day in advance.
