The Ultimate Fighting Championship has returned to the United Kingdom for its latest event tomorrow in Birmingham, England, which will see middleweights Chris Leben and Mark Munoz square off in the main event.

At the official UFC 138 weigh-ins today all of the events competitors made weight, except for welterweight Thiago Alves, who came in one pound over for his bout with Papy Abedi.
