Michael Bisping and Chris Leben were deemed fit for battle at the official weigh-in for UFC 89 on Friday at the National Indoor Arena in Birmingham, England.

The two middleweights will collide in the main event Saturday, as the UFC makes its final 2008 visit to the UK.

A former light heavyweight, Bisping makes his third go at middleweight after a pair of successful bouts against former American Top Team fighter Charles McCarthy last April and Canadian standout Jason Day in June. The Clithoroe native weighed in at 185 pounds on the dot.

Leben, a former Team Quest disciple, weighed in a pound heavier. His two most recent wins came over Italian bruiser Alessio Sakara and Chicago slugger Terry Martin.

At light heavyweight, Cameroon's Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou tipped the scale at 205 pounds. Brazilian opposition Luis Arthur Cane rang in at 206 pounds.

In another 205-pound offering, Keith Jardine will look to rebound from a swift KO loss suffered at the brutal hand of Wanderlei Silva last May when he takes on Brandon Vera, also on redemption's path. Jardine weighed in at 205 pounds, and Vera continued to show off his svelter side at 203 pounds for his second run in a lighter weight class for the promotion.
