Tom Aspinall will go into his heavyweight clash at UFC London 12 lbs heavier than opponent Marcin Tybura on Saturday night.
The Brit, who has been out of action for a year with a knee injury, weighed in at 258 lbs, with Tybura the lighter man at 246 lbs.
“He’s about 15 lbs heavier than he was last time, but it’s good weight,” said Michael Bisping on TNT Sports.
Also on the main card will be Molly McCann who goes up against Lithuanian fighter Julija Stoliarenko in their flyweight clash, with both women weighing in at 125 lbs.
McCann was beaten in her last fight against Erin Blanchfield, with her last win coming 12 months ago against Hannah Goldy.
Speaking exclusively to TNT Sports earlier in the week, the 33-year-old said she was "starving" to hear the crowd cheer for her again.
“I haven’t won for a year, last July was the last time I won, a year ago," she said.
“I am absolutely starving to listen to them, wait to hear my walk-out tune, just everyone.”
