After the initial furore over Anderson Silva stepping in to face Daniel Cormier at UFC 200 following Jon Jones' removal from the card, it was time for the pair to weigh in ahead of their clash on Saturday.
Per MMAFighting's Chuck Mindenhall, the fight will no longer be a title bout for the UFC light heavyweight title but rather a three-round affair that no longer has top billing at the event.
Nevertheless, with the popular Brazilian agreeing to face him, there's still plenty of potential for excitement.
At the weigh-in, Cormier needed the towel but made the grade at 206 pounds, per Christian Tetzpa Gil on Twitter:

Meanwhile, the Spider came in a full seven-and-a-half pounds lighter than his opponent:
According to Mindenhall, Cormier expressed his gratitude to Silva for allowing him to compete on the UFC 200 card and believes he will still need to be at the top of his game despite his opponent's lack of preparation:
I am honored to share the Octagon with the one of the greatest fighters of all time.
