All 24 fighters from this weekend’s “UFC 127: Penn vs. Fitch” event hit the scales today to make their bouts official, and headliners B.J. Penn (167.2 lbs. – in blue jeans) and Jon Fitch (169.8 lbs.) each made weight without issue.
Both fighters engaged in a brief staredown that brought a raucous crowd
to a fever pitch, but it was hardly the most intense moment of the
proceedings.
That belonged to co-main event fighters Michael Bisping and
Jorge Rivera, who each continued their recent war of words after stepping off the scale.
