Headliners hit their marks as UFC London main event becomes official

We've got a fight.

The early weigh-in procedure claimed another victim on Friday morning but it didn't come in the form of either main event fighter, with Ian Entwistle the only fighter to miss weight. Both headliners Jimi Manuwa and Corey Anderson weighed in at the light heavyweight limit ahead of their crucial clash at UFC London. A potential title shot lies ahead for the winner of the 205lbs tilt, which sees the number four ranked light heavyweight meet number six at the O2 Arena. https://twitter.com/SportsJOE_UK/status/842666312736411648 All fighters but Entwistle made the targeted weight, while it was agreed on Thursday night that Brad Pickett's retirement bout against late replacement Marlon Vera would be contested at a catchweight of 140lbs considering the lack of preparation time enjoyed by the Ecuadorian, who replaced Henry Briones on a week's notice.
