Sonnen cleared his final hurdle on Thursday when the Massachusetts State Athletic Commission voted unanimously to license him for the fight. The decision came after the commission’s Medical Advisory Board reviewed Sonnen’s physical condition and medical information. Mike Roberts of MMA Inc., Sonnen’s manager, had told MMAWeekly.com after meeting with the commission earlier in the day that it appeared “likely” that Sonnen would be granted a license. Massachusetts Department of Public Safety spokesperson Terrel Harris on Thursday informed MMAWeekly.com of the commission’s approval.

They had to step on the scale for the UFC 161: Evans vs. Henderson official weigh-ins. The revamped main event features former UFC champion Rashad Evans against former Pride champion Dan Henderson in a light heavyweight showdown that could determine the remaining path for each fighter’s career. Neither Evans nor Henderson typically has trouble making weight, and neither did in Winnipeg.
