LAS VEGAS - All 22 competitors taking part in Saturday's UFC 100 event have officially made weight for the show.
Weigh-ins took place today at a packed (albeit scaled-down) Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, and much of the crow remained ontheir feet throughout the ceremony.
While co-headliners Georges St-Pierre and Thiago Alves used every bit of the allowed 170-pounds in making their welterweight title fight official, so too did main-event fighter Brock Lesnar, who tipped the scales at the heavyweight limit of 265 pounds. Mir registered well-under the limit at an impressive-looking 245 pounds.
British middleweight Michael Bisping received a chorus of emphatic boos from the gathered mass, while Dan Henderson was cheered just as loudly. Bisping kept a firm gaze as Henderson smiled, and "The Count" refused to shake hands with his opponent as he walked off stage.
Other highlights of the evening included Stephan Bonnar's faux-pleading to make weight as he stepped on the sale (and after asking event emcee Joe Rogan to wait patiently as he received a cellphone call from rapper 50 Cent), Jon Jones refusing to look Jake O'Brien in the eye, and Tom Lawlor referencing the UFC's early days by painting "Just Bleed" across his chest.
