All 22 fighters stepping into the Octagon at UFC 121 on Saturday night will step onto the scale at the UFC 121 weigh-in on Friday afternoon, and if you can’t be there to see it at the Honda Center in Anaheim, you can watch it live right here at MMAFighting.com.

In the main event, heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar is likely to come in right at the heavyweight limit of 265 pounds, while No. 1 contender Cain Velasquez will be considerably smaller. Velasquez weighed in at 242 for his last fight, eight months ago, and it will be interesting to see whether he’s bulked up at all in preparation for his fight with the enormous Lesnar.

The weigh-in starts at 5 PM ET and the video is below.

Diego Sanchez Promises to Return to Lightweight After UFC 121 Meeting With Paulo Thiago

("BJ Penn’s not the lightweight champion anymore? You’re *sure*? How sure are you?")

After getting completely handled by John Hathaway in his welterweight return at UFC 114, we were a little surprised to learn Diego Sanchez would be giving 170 another shot against Paulo Thiago, an opponent who’s arguably even more dangerous than Hathaway. Who knows what’s going on in that crazy mind of his from day to day, but we do know that the Nightmare vows to drop back to lightweight after Saturday. As he told UFC.com:

"…just for the record, I do plan on dropping back to 155 after this fight. Me and Greg (Jackson) and the team are just gonna work together and see what (UFC matchmaker) Joe (Silva) can get lined up for me…For now I think [the move is] basically gonna be permanent, but that all depends because I feel like I can fight in both weight classes. There’s 125, 135, 145, 155 — I wish we had a 165 and a 175 (pound division). That would make it a lot easier for me because I could fight 165, but we don’t have that yet and I’ve got to make a decision.

For One UFC Heavyweight Prospect, the Waiting Is the Hardest Part

ANAHEIM, CALIF. – It’s fight week in Southern California, but for the fighters on the UFC 121 card, the hours pass tortuously slow. There’s a lot of sitting around in hotels. A lot of glancing at the clock. There’s just so much time to think, and thinking only leads to more thinking, which inevitably leads to not sleeping.

For UFC heavyweight up-and-comer Brendan Schaub (6-1), the insomnia is just part of the routine.

“Friday night I won’t sleep,” he says. “I’ll get maybe three or four hours. That’s it.”

The night before the weigh-ins Schaub heads downstairs to one of the workout rooms that the UFC has set up for its fighters, just to get a sweat going. Schaub is one of the lucky ones. As a 240-pound heavyweight, he doesn’t have to cut weight. Others who surround him in the sweaty little hotel conference room aren’t so lucky.

Big DW’s latest video blog finds him doing no shortage of totally weird shit leading up to UFC 121 this Saturday. First, we get a closer look at White stumping for senate majority leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) alongside – even weirder – Chuck Liddell at a rally in Reno. A bit later, Our Fearless Leader and a few of his faithful employees get dressed up like an R&B group out to shoot the cover of their Christmas album as part of a photo-op for Playboy. (Ed. Note: CagePotato will not, we repeat not, be publishing any poor quality digital stills of this spread. We’re still hoping to rollover at least a few of our weekend minutes.)

During the rallies, White makes sure to point out to the live crowd that he’s “not very political or politically correct” (No, really?) and that he’s just there to spread the word about the importance of voting. After all, there’s nothing more American than blindly appealing to all people to “get out there and vote.” This despite the cruel reality that people who are “not very political” and/or can’t be trusted to look after their own best interests actually shouldn’t vote. That’s how people like this win elections. To his credit, Dana advises us to “do our homework” before we take to the polls, so at least his heart is in the right place. Oddly, there is no footage here of “The Iceman” addressing the political rallies. His speeches much have been too long and too nuanced to edit neatly into a 12 minute blog.
