There is no other major sport that attracts a crowd of thousands, television cameras, and media in order to witness some heavy tension, but here’s the exception: the UFC and their weigh-ins, which have by now become as accepted a ritual at events as getting drunk and nearly throwing up on Mandy Moore.

7:01 p.m. ET: Announcer Joe Rogan busts out the f-word, just to stick it to those mainstream cameras. Shannon Gugerty is first to take the stage. 156 lbs. Matt Grice clocks in at 155.

7:03 p.m. ET: Tom Lawlor instantly endears himself to hardcores by paying homage to the “Just Bleed” drunkard from the early days. I was too mesmerized to even catch his weight. Opponent CB Dollaway is 186.

7:06 p.m. ET: Lawlor’s is a tough act to follow. T.J. Grant is 170. Dong Hyun Kim is 171.

7:07 p.m. ET: Jake O'Brien appears to be hit from a shrink ray from his heavyweight days: 206 lbs. Jon Jones gets a big reaction. 206.

7:09 p.m. ET: Jim Miller is a lean 155, Mac Danzig a dehydrated 154.

7:11 p.m. ET: Stephan Bonnar keeps his composure as he undresses to face Mark Coleman. He pulls out his cell phone to say hi to his mom in a bit that falls somewhat flat. 206 lbs. Mark Coleman steps to the scale, visibly winded. He looks up at the clock. 205 lbs.

7:12 p.m. ET: Thiago pushes over Coleman’s limp body on the scale in order to step on. 170. Jon Fitch is a sinewy 170.

7:14 p.m. ET: Alan Belcher has a tattoo of either Elvis or Chuck Zito on his left arm [ed: it's Johnny Cash]. 186 lbs. Yoshihiro “Sexyama” Akiyama is a very tanned 185 lbs.

7:16 p.m. ET: Bisping comes out to crowd love worthy of Madoff. He’s clearly enjoying the repulsion. 185 lbs. Dan Henderson gets a much better reception, pandering to the crowd with a US flag t-shirt. 185 lbs.

7:18 p.m. ET: Thiago Alves comes out to a mixed reaction. 170 on the button. Georges St. Pierre is sporting an elbow goiter. If that thing pops mid-fight, good luck to the front row. 170.

7:22 p.m. ET: Brock Lesnar and Frank Mir are queued up. If Lesnar doesn’t make 265, he might double-leg the scale; Rogan announces that a 92 lb. allowance will be made for Mir’s ego.

Mir is in tremendous shape. 245, lighter than he’s been since -- ever? Lesnar gets a smattering of boos. He tosses his t-shirt into the crowd. 265. Some pec jiggling for the ladies.

Mir in great shape is a very dangerous Mir.

Man GSP looked huge, people talk about Alves but GSP's legs are huge.

Same with Mir all of Lesnar's power looks to be in his chest and arms Mir looks just as strong though.

Bisping also looked good.

And I loved the sexyama Rogan pulled out lol

King TE · 07-11-2009, 03:03 AM

Yeah GSP always looks very big.

'and w00t, Rogan on the sextrain?

Sir Nicky Talent · 07-11-2009, 11:06 AM

Rogan, as much as I can't stand him sometimes, made me lol'd

Then I serious'd.

GSP looked really fucking ripped. More than usual. I'm really curious of his training.

Also, Hendo's love = expected.

The Best Around · 07-11-2009, 01:15 PM

I'm so pumped for the show tonight. I think Mir, Henderson, and GSP will all take their fights. I'm really hoping though that Lesnar will win, but I think Mir will make him tap out again. Hopefully I'm wrong, but I think Mir will take this one.

frank spencer · 07-11-2009, 03:16 PM

I love how Mir actually thinks he can beat Lesnar standing ... That will be his downfall imo, Yes Technically he is better with his boxing and striking in general but Like Rogan said one shot from that gorilla with hands the size of lunch boxes and its lights out!

I dont think Brock is gonna shoot so early this time around thats why Im picking him for a early KO!!

Mir looked most ripped ive ever seen him btw..

Suffy · 07-11-2009, 04:24 PM

Mir isn't a boxer, he's a karate expert and Lesnar doesn't seem to have a lot of power in those hands like he landed a shot flush and I mean flush on Herring and yea he fell back but he wasn't rocked or dazed or anything and that was as clean and powerful a shot as there can be.

The only way Lesnar wins is if he lays and prays for 25 minutes.

Dmac · 07-11-2009, 04:28 PM

If Mir wins then fine, I'll concede defeat but I love how everyone is doubting Lesnar.

Sir Nicky Talent · 07-11-2009, 04:33 PM

I'm not doubting Lesnar to the fullest extent. I think if Mir wants to maintain the strategy of winning standing up, Lesnar could easily win if Mir doesn't condition well or Mir doesn't decide to change strategies and submit Lesnar.

Still, Mir will win.
