OAKLAND, Calif. – MMAjunkie.com was on scene and reporting live from today’s official UFC 117 fighter
weigh-ins, where all but one competitor made weight on the show.
Today’s festivities took place at Oracle Arena in Oakland, Calif., the same venue that hosts Saturday’s pay-per-view event.
Middleweight champ Anderson Silva (184.5 pounds) and fellow headliner
Chael Sonnen (185) were on weight, but co-main-event fighter Thiago
Alves was a half pound over and fined 20 percent of his purse.
