Weigh-ins are official
The fighters have already stepped on the scales and all but one have made the appropriate weight. And unlike UFC 85, there will be no controversy surrounding the main event when Thiago Alves tipped the scales four pounds over his required weight limit. The only fighter who checked in a pound overweight was Gleison Tibau. Apparently, Tibau had a couple extra sandwiches as he weighed in at 156 pounds for his 155 pound match-up with Joe Stevenson.
Part of every fighter’s training involves maintaining a certain weight as so much of their daily efforts center around that goal. Heading into UFC 86, just about every fighter has been able to reach that goal. Here’s a look at the official weigh-ins for tonight’s event.
