UFC 142 Weigh in Results

After a wildly successful trip to Brazil in August for UFC 134, the fight promotion made a return to that country a priority. That return will take place on Saturday, Jan. 14, when the UFC presents UFC 142, a fight card that will see Jose Aldo put his UFC featherweight crown on the line against Chad "Money" Mendes.

Aldo enters the fight with a record of 20-1, with his only loss coming to Luciano Azevedo in November 2005. Since that loss Aldo has run off 13 consecutive victories, including four WEC/UFC title defenses. For his part Mendes is unbeaten in his ten professional bouts, with his last victory being a three round unanimous decision over Rani Yahya.

In the evening's co-main event, Anthony "Rumble" Johnson will make the jump from welterweight to middleweight to face Vitor Belfort. Both competitors will enter the Octagon on Saturday after knocking out their last opponents. Belfort ended Yoshihiro Akiyama's night at UFC 133 in 1:52, while Johnson stopped Charlie Brenneman at the 2:49 mark at a UFC Live event in October.
