Just watched the weigh-ins. Here are my quick thoughts:
- Randy weighed in at 220, Big Nog at 231, which is probably the lightest he's been in some time. Both look to be in great shape.
- As you can guess, the crowd totally roared for Randy.
- Anderson Silva had a goofy plaid shirt he wore to support Big Nog.
- Thiago Silva had these black wrap-around sunglasses, a la Bono of U2.
- There are a ton of heavyweight fights on this card, when you think about it: Couture/Nog, Gonzaga/Tuchscherererererer (actually it's just Tuchscherer.), McCully/Russow, and Duffee/Hague.
- By the way, Duffee looked yoked. Weighed in at 250 or so, looks to be about 6'3', 6'4" and was cut. Hope to see a good performance out of him, he could be one to watch in the coming years.
- Oh, and with his Portuguese accent, Big Nog calls Randy, "Handy."
