In case you weren’t already sure, yesterday’s UFC 141 weigh-in confirmed it. The main event between Brock Lesnar and Alistair Overeem features two really, really big men.
Lesnar weighed in at 266 pounds, while Overeem came in at 263. That’s 529 total pounds that will hit the Octagon tonight. Basically, you might feel some minor earthquakes if you are anywhere near Las Vegas.
After the two weighed in, they had a short but intense staredown. Lesnar then quickly left the stage as he skipped the post-weigh-in interview. It was over perhaps as quickly as the fight between the two men will be over.
Other than that, there wasn’t a whole lot out of the ordinary during yesterday’s weigh-in. Nate Diaz, however, missed the lightweight limit of 155 pounds.
His enemy, Donald Cerrone, actually agreed to re-work the contract and said that Diaz didn’t have to cut anymore weight.
Nevertheless, Diaz got it done and the heated fight is ready to go. The staredown resulted in a near brawl. It’s a good thing Diaz got his weight down and the two are ready to go, because this is going to be an exciting fight fueled by hate.
