The Ultimate Fighting Championship returns to ESPN airwaves this weekend with a heavyweight main event.
UFC on ESPN 56 main event fighters Derrick Lewis and Rodrigo Nascimento both made weight for the 12-fight card. Both men weighed near the 266-pound limit, so there won't be a major weight difference. All fighters made weight except for Jared Gooden, who suffered a medical issue and didn't weigh in, thus canceling his welterweight fight against Kevin Jousset.
