Veteran UFC fighter and former heavyweight champion Fabricio Werdum has taken to his opponent Alexander Volkov with a chair.
During their weigh-in, Werdum picked up a chair and pretended to swing it at his Russian counterpart.
Keeping the London crowd on their toes, Werdum swung the chair before standing on it to get the height advantage over Volkov.
Volkov is usually taller than Werdum, standing at 2.01 and 1.93 metres respectively.
The stunt was applauded by the crowd and officials, with both fighters smiling at Werdum's little performance.
The pair used to train together and appear to be on good terms ahead of their heavyweight showdown.

Should Werdum beat his opponent Volkov, the 40-year-old Brazilian will look for a shot at the title after losing it against Stipe Miocic.
Jokes aside, Werdum is being tipped as the favourite to claim victory in tomorrows bout.
