Light-heavyweight stars Dan Henderson and Mauricio Shogun Rua both made weight for their highly anticipated battle in the main event at UFC 139.

Henderson, who returns to the UFC after a four-fight stint in Strikeforce that took him to the title, came in at 203lbs. Rua, coming off a win over Forrest Griffin, weighed 205.

Elsewhere, middleweights Wanderlei Silva and Cung Le will compete in the co-main event in what could prove to be the last bout of Silva's career. Both men came in at 185lbs.

Urijah Faber and Brian Bowles were also both on target ahead of their bantamweight title eliminator.

Two fighters did forfeit 20 per cent of their purses though, with bantamweight Nick Pace five pounds over the legal limit at 141lbs for his clash against Miguel Torres, and lightweight Shamar Bailey three pounds over the limit at 158 ahead of his meeting with Danny Castillo.
