The official weigh-ins took place today at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City, the same venue that hosts Friday's fight card.
In the night's main event, UFC veterans Chris Daukaus (12-7 MMA, 4-2 CFFC) and Tafon Nchukwi (6-4 MMA, 2-0 CFFC) return to the promotion that helped launch their big-show careers, clashing in a three-round heavyweight headliner.
