After what would have been an exhaustive three weeks, Mark Hunt this morning successfully weighed in for his UFC interim heavyweight title bout against Fabricio Werdum.
Hunt stepped on the scale at the Mexico City Arena in Mexico City and came in at an even 265 pounds (120.2 kgs). His taller opponent, Fabricio Werdum came in at 232 pounds (105.2 kgs).
The weight cut was made even more impressive for Hunt, considering the Sydney based fighter was a reported 20 kilograms over when he took the late notice fight three weeks ago.
In the co-main event, unbeaten prospect Kelvin Gastelum weighed in at 170 pounds (77.5 kgs), while his opponent Jake Ellenberger came in at 171 pounds (77.1 kgs).
