Dillashaw, Cruz make weight for UFC Fight Night 81 title fight
The main event of UFC Fight Night 81 is set.
T.J. Dillashaw and Dominick Cruz made weight for their championship bout, then took a moment to engage in one last bit of trash talk before they throw down Sunday night in Boston.

All other fighters were on weight, with only late-notice replacement Mehdi Baghdad having any problems with the scale. Officials brought in the towel so he could strip his underwear off and he was able to make the 156-pound allowance.
The highlight of the night was Ilir Latifi and Sean O'Connell exchanging gifts during their faceoff. O'Connell offered Latifi a bouquet, while Latifi shared some Swedish candy.
