With the atmosphere tense, the official weigh-in for UFC-126 recently ended, an event that takes place in the early hours of Saturday to Sunday, in Las Vegas, in the United States. After Vitor belfort affirm that Anderson Silva wore a kind of mask so as not to show concern about combat (remember here), the “Spider” went up to the stage where the scales were installed, dressed in a Corinthians shirt and a plastic mask. Showing some irritation, Anderson went for the traditional look with some phrases and provocations.
During the weigh-in for the other fights, all fighters made weight without any problems, except Mike Pierce, who exceeded the welterweight category limit by one kilo and will have two hours to reach the regulatory 77 kilos. Check out the official UFC-126 weigh-in results below.
