The weigh-ins took place last night for what was - two weeks ago - UFC 196.

Due to Cain Velasquez and then Fabricio Werdum pulling out of the scheduled heavyweight title fight, it has since been downgraded from a pay-per-view event to a 'Fight Night'.

Former welterweight champion Johny Hendricks' bout with Stephen 'Wonderboy' Thompson is the headline event.

Also on the main card tonight is a light heavyweight fight between Misha Cirkunov and UFC newcomer Alex Nicholson.

Nicholson surprised everyone, including his girlfriend Hannah it would seem, by proposing to her during last night's weigh-in.
