BOSTON — The 20 fighters competing at UFC 118 weighed in at the TD Garden. There were no complications as every fighter on the card made weight.
The UFC lightweight champion Frankie Edgar weighed in at 154 for his UFC lightweight championship defense against BJ Penn, who also checked in at 154. Meanwhile boxer turned MMA fighter James Toney checked in at 237 for his bout with multi-time champ Randy Couture (220).
If you were hoping for one final bit of drama just one day prior to UFC 118, alas, the weigh-ins this afternoon provided none of it. James Toney, who came in at 237lbs., had little to say to opponent Randy Couture or the Boston crowd, many of whom don’t evidently care for the boxing champ […]
If you were hoping for one final bit of drama just one day prior to UFC 118, alas, the weigh-ins this afternoon provided none of it. James Toney, who came in at 237lbs., had little to say to opponent Randy Couture or the Boston crowd, many of whom don’t evidently care for the boxing champ (“The Natural” came in at 220).
As far as main event competitors, lightweight champion Frankie Edgar and BJ Penn, they both weighed in at 154 for their rematch. Really, aside from a couple of rather stern looking stare downs, the only interesting bit today was Gabe Ruediger giving Joe Lauzon a cake with “Sorry About Your Loss” written on it. Yes, Gabe made weight, and no, he didn’t eat any of the cake.
Here are the official weigh-in results:
Frankie Edgar (154) vs. BJ Penn (154), James Toney (237) vs. Randy Couture (220), Gray Maynard (156) vs. Kenny Florian (156), Marcus Davis (170) vs. Nate Diaz (171), Mario Miranda (185) vs. Demian Maia (184), Joe Lauzon (156) vs. Gabe Ruediger (155), Andre Winner (154) vs. Nik Lentz (155), Dan Miller (185) vs. Jon Salter (185), Nick Osipczak (171) vs. Greg Soto (170), Amilcar Alves (171) vs. Mike Pierce (171).
