The stage is set for Saturday night as all fighters made weight for UFC 118.
On a quest to regain the UFC lightweight championship, BJ Penn received a thunderous ovation as he appeared before the rowdy crowd at the TD Garden, weighing in at 154 pounds.
"This is about UFC 118 and Dana (White) bringing UFC to Boston," said Penn. "Thank you fans!"
Meanwhile, the current titleholder Frankie Edgar was unfazed as he received a loud chorus of boos, registering the same weight as Penn.
In the co-feature, UFC Hall of Famer Randy Couture will take on boxing great James Toney in a fight being marketed as MMA vs. boxing.
The reaction for Couture was deafening as he weighed in at 220 pounds.
"I look forward to welcoming James Toney to mixed martial arts," said the former two-division UFC champion.
As expected, Toney, who weighed in at 237 pounds, was heavily booed as he made his way onto the stage. Unlike Wednesday's press conference, the boxing legend did not shake hands with Couture after posing for photos.
Hometown heroes Kenny Florian, Marcus Davis and Joe Lauzon all received a roaring round of applause for their bouts against Gray Maynard, Nathan Diaz and Gabe Ruediger, respectively.
