Thor Bjornsson and Devon Larratt both hit the scales on Friday as they prepare for their highly-anticipated clash on Saturday.
Thor takes on Larratt in the main event of a stacked card at Sport Society in Dubai this weekend, which will be broadcast live on CoreSports.World.
The weigh-in took place on Friday, with former World's Strongest Man Thor weighing in at 146.5kg, while arm-wrestling legend Larratt weighed 124kg.
Heavyweight sensation Martin Bakole is also on the bill, as he returns to action after almost a year to take on Haruna Osumanu, while CrossFit rivals Josh Bridges and Jacob Heppner will finally settle their differences, as they collide in a much-talked about grudge match.
Two of the most popular females in combat sports have respective bouts, as undefeated star Avril Mathie meets fellow unbeaten fighter Jesca Mfinanga, while world-record-holding powerlifter Stefi Cohen meets Marcela Nieto, plus Anthony de Bruijin faces Giorgi Gachechiladze.
