Official weigh-ins for UFC 133 will be held Friday afternoon at 4:00 p.m. ET/1:00 p.m. PT. MMA Nation will be streaming the action live throughout the day.
UFC 133 is headlined by a light heavyweight rematch between former champions, Rashad Evans (15-1-1) and Tito Ortiz (16-8-1). The pair battled to a draw in 2007 at UFC 73, though the decision would have gone to Ortiz had he not been deducted a point for repeatedly grabbing the fence.
The bout carries significant implications for both men. As the number one contender, Rashad Evans has been promised a title shot should he end the night victorious. Likewise, a successful showing for Ortiz would be the second top-10 win for the veteran in the past two months, after his surprising submission victory over Ryan Bader at UFC 132.
Also highlighting the main card is a middleweight contest between Vitor Belfort (19-9) and Yoshihiro Akiyama (13-3), a welterweight contest between Brian Ebersole (47-14-1) and Dennis Hallman (43-13-2), a middleweight contest between Jorge Rivera (19-8) and Costantinos Philippou (7-2), and a welterweight contest between Mike Pyle (21-7-1) and Rory MacDonald (11-1).
