UFC Featherweight Champion Jose Aldo and former lightweight champ Frankie Edgar both made weight this afternoon in Las Vegas, Nevada, clearing the way for their tilt tomorrow night, which is being billed as a “superfight”.

UFC 156 will be hosted by the Mandalay Bay Events Center and the main card will be available for viewing via pay-per-view.

At the beginning of today’s weigh-ins, three consecutive fighters in Francisco Rivera, Edwin Figueroa and Dustin Kimura failed to make, which appeared to prompt concerns that there may be an issue with a scale. All of the following fighters scheduled to compete, however, proceeded to make weight.
