SANTA MONICA, Calif. — The fighters took to the scale inside the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium on Friday to make it official before Saturday night’s debut event on the FOX network. All fighters made weight in front of the enthusiastic afternoon crowd of just over 2,000 people, but the weigh-in was mostly a ceremonial matter for the two main event fighters, both of whom clocked in well below the heavyweight limit.
While UFC heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez drew cheers by thanking “La Raza” for their support, Brazilian challenger Junior dos Santos kept his remarks short and direct.
“Just one thing,” said dos Santos. “Get ready for a war!”
Full weigh-in results are below.
