Vitor Belfort and Luke Rockhold have cleared the final hurdle to their UFC on FX 8 headliner tomorrow night in Jaragua do Sul, Brazil, as both men made weight this afternoon.

Both Belfort and Rockhold came in at 186 bouts for the five round bout, and the two quickly needed to be separated afterwards as they squared off for pics. Seemingly in response to yesterday’s presser, where Belfort extended his fist close to the face of Rockhold, the latter bumped the vet before he could get set for the photo op.

Here are the official weigh-in results for tomorrow’s card.
