The UFC bantamweight title collision between Dominick Cruz and Demetrious Johnson has no more obstacles to overcome after a successful Friday weigh-in.

Both men tipped the scales at 135lbs, meaning Saturday will play host to the second defence of Cruz's UFC title. Neither fighter has lost more than once, so something has to give this weekend.

Comedy moment of the weigh-ins was provided by Pat Barry, who brought a stool along to his pre-fight staredown with Stefan Struve. Barry concedes a one-foot height advantage to Struve in the heavyweight collision.

The only man to fail to make weight was Byron Bloodworth, who came in for his bantamweight bout at 138lbs. In Bloodworth's defence, he took the fight with Mike Easton on short notice.
