HOUSTON – You can’t exactly say that Friday’s Strikeforce: Houston weigh-ins from the Toyota Center went off without a hitch. Three fighters came in overweight and another didn’t show at all, but at least the Showtime portion of the card remains unaffected.

The strangest part of Friday’s proceedings was that Jorge “Macaco” Patino, who is scheduled to face Andre Galvao on the preliminary portion of the card, did not show up to the weigh-ins at all. A Strikeforce representative told MMA Fighting that Patino was apparently held up by “car trouble,” and it’s still unclear whether the fight will go on at all.

On the televised portion of the card, lightweight K.J. Noons came in at 156 ¼ pounds for the 155-pound bout, but Noons’ opponent, Jorge Gurgel, immediately made it clear that he wasn’t going to force Noons to cut the extra weight.

Full weigh-in results for Strikeforce: Houston are below:

HOUSTON — On Saturday night, Muhammed Lawal will look to successfully defend his Strikeforce light heavyweight title for the very first time against Rafael “Feijao” Cavalcante. This will mark just the eighth pro fight in Lawal’s career, and while the sky appears to be the limit for the former Oklahoma State University wrestling star, one wonders how will he preform with the bulls-eye on his back for the first time.

In our Strikeforce: Houston preview, Ben Fowlkes and I answer that question and look at the rest of the storylines heading into Saturday night’s card.
