The stagehands at Ultimate Fighting Championship have set up the octagon inside of the Sprint Center in Kansas City, Missouri for “UFC on FOX 24”. Demetrious Johnson will be looking to defend his championship on the biggest stage of them all inside the cage on national television. His opponent Wilson Reis has signed the contract once before to throw down with Johnson, but the fight was scrapped on short notice.
He will have his opportunity to prove he is championship material in tomorrow’s main event. In the co-main event of the evening, both women are looking to show the world they truly are championship material. Michelle Waterson and Rose Namajunas will be battling for strawweight supremacy and the opportunity to call themselves the number-one contender of the weight-class.
The featured preliminary fight of the night will see heavy-hitting heavyweights Alexander Volkov and Roy Nelson throw down. Kicking off the televised portion of the preliminaries, however, will be Tim Elliott and Louis Smolka.
Smolka made his way to the scales during the early weigh-ins looking like he had a serious weight cut. As Smolka made his way to the scale, he could not stand up straight and he took a big breath just preparing himself to step onto the scale. Check it out below:
