TORONTO – The UFC 140 fighter weigh-ins took place Friday afternoon at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, the same location that will host Saturday’s Pay-Per-View card featuring UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones taking on former champion Lyoto Machida in a five-round championship main event.
The champion weighed in at the light heavyweight title fight limit of exactly 205 pounds, while the challenger, Machida, weighed in a pound under, at 204 pounds.
Only 36-year-old veteran Dennis Hallman failed to make weight. At 158.5 pounds, he was 2 1/2 pounds over the lightweight non-title fight limit of 156 pounds. He was given extra time to try and drop the additional weight but was unable to do so, and as a result was fined 20 percent of his purse.
