All 20 fighters comfortably made weight for their UFC 120 fights on Friday, with little in the way of fireworks or posturing just 24 hours from the event at London’s 02 Arena.
In the middleweight main event, both Michael Bisping and Yoshihiro Akiyama weighed in at 185 pounds. Bisping leaned into Akiyama at the customary post weigh-in staredown, but Akiyama was unbothered, even breaking into a small smile before UFC president Dana White broke them up and they shook hands.
A little less friendly was the staredown between co-main eventers Carlos Condit and Dan Hardy.

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.

LONDON — MMA Fighting to welterweight Dan Hardy at Wednesday’s UFC 120 media workout about Carlos Condit missing his flight to London, why he isn’t a fan of fighters trained by Greg Jackson, what he learned about himself after his loss to Georges St-Pierre in March and much more.

We’ll update this post again on Friday, but here’s a quick look at UFC 120 betting odds values.

:: The books are virtually the same across the board for Yoshihiro Akiyama vs Michael Bisping, but if you think Akiyama has a good shot (we do), grab him at +180 here.
:: We’re looking forward to Carlos Condit vs. Dan Hardy, and think the lines are about right. Be interested to see where the line moves the next couple of days. If you like Hardy, take the -160 here. If you’re high on Condit, then +145 at BetUS is your best value here.
:: And if you like taking the dog in the biggest odds disparity fights of the night (Mike Pyle vs. John Hathaway), grab Pyle at +400 here.
