Johnson came in 11 pounds over the 186 lb weight allowance, was fined 20 percent of his earnings and the bout was contested at a catchweight of 197 lb. However, Belfort requested that Johnson not weigh more than 205 lb the day of the fight. The UFC mandated that if Johnson could not make the 205 lb limit, the bout would be cancelled. Johnson officially weighed in at 204.2 lb on fight day, and the bout took place as scheduled.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eResults:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eMain card\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eFeatherweight     José Aldo (c)     def.     Chad Mendes     KO (knee) \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eCatchweight (197 lb)     Vitor Belfort     def.     Anthony Johnson     Submission (rear-naked choke) \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eMiddleweight     Rousimar Palhares     def.     Mike Massenzio     Submission (heel hook) \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eWelterweight     Carlo Prater     def.     Erick Silva     DQ (punches to the back of the head) \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eLightweight     Edson Barboza     def.     Terry Etim     KO (wheel kick)  \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003ePreliminary card (FX)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eLightweight     Thiago Tavares     def.     Sam Stout     Decision (unanimous) \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eHeavyweight     Gabriel Gonzaga     def.     Ednaldo Oliveira     Submission (rear-naked choke)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eFeatherweight     Iuri Alcântara     def.     Michihiro Omigawa     Decision (unanimous) \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eWelterweight     Mike Pyle     def.     Ricardo Funch     TKO (knee and punches)  \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003ePreliminary card (Facebook)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eFeatherweight     Felipe Arantes     def.     Antonio Carvalho     Decision (unanimous)   \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eFREE UK Postage on Orders over £25\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eFREE International Shipping on orders over £79.99 \/ Approx. $110usd\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Combat Kingdom MMA Memorabilia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53425927913819,"sku":"CK00719","price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0926\/4719\/4971\/files\/20260422_143501.jpg?v=1782210125","url":"https:\/\/www.combatkingdom.co.uk\/products\/ufc-142-bra-aldo-vs-mendes-official-event-program-2012","provider":"Combat Kingdom MMA Memorabilia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
