Miocic, Overeem on weight for UFC 203 championship bout

All 10 main card fighters made weight for UFC 203 at Friday's weigh-ins, according to MMAjunkie.

UFC heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic weighed in without issue, as did main event challenger Alistair Overeem. However, Overeem did have problems unrelated to the scale as he was fined $500 for showing up late to the proceedings.

Aside from the title fight participants, the most scrutinized weigh-in of the day was that of CM Punk. The former WWE superstar has never had to go through a weight cut before and he's indicated in recent interviews that he was having difficulties with the procedure.

Those comments may have been in jest or an attempt to stir up drama as he hit the 170-pound mark on the dot to make his UFC debut opposite Mickey Gall official for Saturday.

Of the 22 fighters on the card, only late-notice replacement Michael McBride failed to make weight. McBride stepped in as a replacement against Nik Lentz with just over a week to prepare. 20 percent of his show money will go to Lentz.
