UFC bantamweights Jimmie Rivera and Aljamain Sterling finally will throw down Sunday night in the UFC on ESPN 1 featured prelim. The fight became officially official after both men made weight this morning in Phoenix.

But that Jimmie Rivera. He’s a prankster that guy.

Ol’ Jimmie Jokes walked out for his weigh-in with a towel wrapped around his waist and asked for the commission to assist in covering him while he stepped on the scale. Everybody in the room bought it, too.

Rivera made 135 pounds easy.
