The UFC 241: Cormier vs. Miocic 2 bouts are all official following Friday's weigh-in festivities in Anaheim, Calif.

The card is topped by UFC heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier's second defense of his belt. He'll put the title on the line against the man he took it from, Stipe Miocic, in a headlining rematch.

Neither man had any issue on the scale. Cormier weighed236.5 pounds, while Miocic tipped the scale at 230.5 pounds.

The UFC 241 co-main event casts a huge shadow over the event with the return of Nate Diaz after nearly three years on the sidelines. He returns from a loss to Conor McGregor by jumping right back into the deep end of the welterweight pool with a fan-favorite match-up with former lightweight champion Anthony Pettis.

Diaz hit the 170-pound mark on the nose, while Pettis weighed in at 169.5 pounds.

Yoel Romero and Paulo Costa square off in a pivotal middleweight contenders bout. Costa weighed in early at 186 pounds. Romero was the final fighter to step on the scale, weighing 184.5 pounds.

Manny Bermudez and Casey Kenney were both struggling to make weight for their preliminary bantamweight bout, so they negotiated a 140-pound catchweight ahead of the weigh-in. Both fighters easily hit the mark for the 140-pound catchweight limit, so neither was penalized.
