SAITAMA, Japan – MMAjunkie.com was on scene for
today’s official UFC 144 weigh-ins, where 23
of 24 competitors successfully made weight for this weekend’s
pay-per-view event, the company’s first visit to Japan since 2000.
Unfortunately, the one who failed was former PRIDE superstar Quinton
“Rampage” Jackson, who registered 211 pounds for his light heavyweight
matchup with Ryan Bader.
Nevertheless, a crowd of a little more than 1,500 fans cheered Jackson
as he hit the scale, and this weekend’s event will go on as planned.
