The Paulo Sarasate Arena in Fortaleza, Ceara, Brazil played host to today’s UFC on FUEL TV 10 weigh-in event with all fighters scheduled to step on the scale hitting their marks.
Heavyweight headliners Antônio Rodrigo Nogueira (237) vs. Fabricio Werdum (242) came in a little lighter than their previous matches while co-main event opponents William Macario (170) vs. Leonardo Santos (170) making weight for their ‘TUF: Brazil 2′ final
One bout was scrapped earlier in the day after middleweight Ronny Markes got into a car accident and was reportedly knocked unconscious for a few moments. Markes had been scheduled to face Derek Brunson on the preliminary card.
Markes Manager Andre Pederneiras described the situation in an email (quote via MMAjunkie.com).
“We were in the process of cutting weight with Ronny since 6 a.m.,” Pederneiras said. “There was a little over a kilogram to go. We went to a motel to lose the weight because the bathtub at our hotel did not heat up, and last night the hotel sauna closed at 10 p.m.. At the first motel we visited, the water did not heat either, but Guilherme Santos, who’s assisting in Caio Magalhaes’ weight cut, let us know about another place they visited which did have hot water.
“We drove off in our rental car and, at a curve, another car cut off a truck and I ended (up) rear-ending them. Ronny, who was already weak from the weight loss, struck his head and was projected forward, being knocked out for a few seconds. It’s a pity – I had never had been in a crash before.”
