In case you missed it, all fighters made weight for tomorrow’s UFC 120 event; the numbers are after the jump. Remember to come back to CagePotato.com tomorrow night at 8 p.m. ET for our tape-delayed "live"-blog of the Spike TV broadcast.

One notable absence from today’s weigh-ins was light-heavyweight Steve Cantwell, who ripped a knee ligament in training yesterday and was forced to withdraw from his fight. The general consensus on this week’s installment of The Bum Rush Radio Show was that Cantwell — on a two-fight losing skid and slated to face scary Bulgarian Stanislav Nedkov — was in serious danger of getting fired after Saturday. So maybe this is for the best…

Revelation of the Day: Dan Hardy Concedes Having “Big Mouth”

We here at Fix are the first to admit that we’re drawn to trash talking fighters like the masses are to ‘cute kitten’ Youtube clips. Look at the amount of coverage Chael “He Said That?” Sonnen received heading into his memorable bout with Anderson Silva, and clearly we’re not the only ones.

We here at Fix are the first to admit that we’re drawn to trash talking fighters like the masses are to ‘cute kitten’ Youtube clips. Look at the amount of coverage Chael “He Said That?” Sonnen received heading into his memorable bout with Anderson Silva, and clearly we’re not the only ones.

Of course, another of the UFC’s leading mouths in the trash talking department is Dan “The Outlaw” Hardy, who since arriving in the promotion, has captured plenty of headlines with both his words and fists. It’s a nice combination to have going for you in the sports business, and while speaking to the official UFC site, Hardy acknowledged his personality hasn’t held back his career.

“It’s been pretty wild, to be honest,” he said. “I didn’t think that it would be like this. I knew I always had a big mouth and I think that’s contributed to a lot of the attention I’ve been getting. (Laughs) But my main focus is always to work hard and to win fights and enjoy myself as I’m doing it, and I think that the fans appreciate that and I think that’s the reason why things have moved so fast for me. If you would have told me two years ago that I would be in this position now, I would have been quite surprised. But it’s awesome and I wouldn’t change it for the world.”

Unless you’ve been far removed from civilization recently, you know Hardy is set to take on Carlos Condit this weekend at UFC 120, who naturally, Hardy has been giving the pre-fight gears. FOTN potential all over it.To bet on the tilt head here.
