The official weigh-in for UFC-117 took place on Friday night, a show that takes place this Saturday (7), in Oakland, in the United States. During the event, all fighters made weight without any problems, except Brazilian Thiago “Pitbull”, who was 500 grams above the allowed 77 kilos and was forced to give up 20% of his purse to his opponent Jon Fitch.
In addition to the traditional looks for photos after weighing, another notable moment was the attitude of Anderson Silva in front of your opponent, Chael Sonnen. Spider posed for photos without looking at his opponent, snubbing the American. Check out the official results and weigh-in photos below:
