Editor's note: The article has been updated at 4:25 p.m. ET on Dec. 16 to reflect the purse fine amount.

The final Ultimate Fighting Championship event of the year is now official.

UFC Fight Night 216 is headlined by middleweight contenders Jared Cannonier and Sean Strickland. While the main event fighters and the rest of the main card all made weight, preliminary competitor Maheshate Hayisaer came in 2.5 pounds over the lightweight limit for his bout against Rafa Garcia. He has been fined 20% of his purse, and the match will otherwise continue as scheduled.

"The Killa Gorilla" is coming off a unanimous decision defeat to Israel Adesanya, while Strickland (25-4) was knocked out by now-champion Alex Pereira. Both will look to bounce back into contention at the expense of the other. Cannonier (15-6) weighed 185.5 pounds, while Strickland stepped on the scale at 186 pounds on the dot.

UFC Fight Night 216 will stream live on ESPN+ in its entirety on Saturday. Prelims begin at 4 p.m. ET/1 p.m. PT while the main card starts at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT.
