Today at 10 a.m. local time, Chael Sonnen weighed 190 pounds. Yesterday, he was 15 pounds heavier, and 20 pounds from the on-the-dot 185 he needs to be to fight champ Anderson Silva at UFC 148.
The middleweight title challenger looked a little nervous when he reported that figure during interviews on Thursday, one day before the event’s official weigh-ins.
But the man who got him there wasn’t, and he said today’s number is exactly what it’s supposed to be.
