The UFC is back this weekend with another stacked card. This time, however, two welterweights will battle it out to the last drop of blood for the vacant belt. Georges St-Pierre officially dropped the title back in December, now a new champion, either Johny Hendricks or Robbie Lawler, will be crowned on Saturday night at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas. Will it be power puncher Lawler or the former collegiate wrestler Hendricks?
But before they settle their business inside the Octagon, both fighters will tip the scale this evening for the official UFC 171 weigh in. They will have to make the welterweight limit of 170 pounds. In addition, the other 24 fighters on the card below will also meet at the weigh in, including Carlos Condit and Tyron Woodley, who throw down in the co-main event.
The UFC 171 weigh in starts at 5:00 p.m. today, so stay tuned for the live stream here on Yell! Magazine.
