Fedor Emelianenko weighed in a full 20lbs heavier than Dan Henderson for Saturday's Strikeforce main event.

Emelianenko, who is coming off a two-fight losing streak, tipped the scales at 227lbs, which is lighter than when he lost to Antonio Silva in his last outing.

Henderson, the Strikeforce light-heavyweight champion, had promised to only just edge inside the bottom end of the heavyweight limit. He stayed true to his word at 207lbs, meaning Emelianenko will have a severe size advantage.

Elsewhere Paul Daley, who has had weight-cutting problems in the past, met the welterweight target for his bout with Tyron Woodley.
