It’s another UFC fight weekend here at LowKickMMA.com, meaning it’s weigh-ins day once again. UFC Fight Night 85 is the meal on offer in Brisbane, Australia, and it’s chock full of appetising bouts for this Saturday March 19. At the top of the card is a meeting of heavyweight legends, as ex-UFC champion takes on K-1 king and Pride FC fan favorite Mark Hunt. The two have quite contrasting styles, but are also very similar in their recent records. Some brutal losses but also incredible wins are the back stories of both men’s entire career in all honesty, and it’s going to be fun to see how they approach this fight in the late stages of their respective careers.

In the co-main event we have a battle between Neil Magny and Hector Lombard at welterweight. After serving a suspension for being busted by USADA with some designer steroids in his system, ‘Lightning’ will look to bounce back in the stacked 170-pound division. The only problem with that statement of intent is that Magny is a much taller welterweight, and he’s looked like a stone cold killer in his recent form. Winning nine of his last 10 bouts, Magny will face a power punching athlete who, until 2011, hadn’t lost a fight in five years.

Elsewhere on the card we have a number of exciting matches featuring plenty of hot prospects from some of the most exciting current crop. Check in with us at 630 PM ET for the live weigh ins for UFC Fight Night 85, or see the updated results after the fact.

UFC Fight Night 56 Weigh-In Results: John Lineker Comes in Heavy AGAIN, Damn It [UPDATED]

The most consistently overweight fighter in UFC history has done it again, folks. Weigh-ins for UFC Fight Night 56: Shogun vs. St. Preux just concluded in Uberlandia, Brazil, with everybody hitting their marks except for — you guessed it — flyweight John Lineker, who came in at 126.7 on his first attempt.

That’s not quite as bad when Lineker weighed in at 127 pounds for his Octagon debut at UFC on FOX 3, or when he weighed in at 129 pounds before UFC 163, or when he weighed in at 128 pounds before UFC Fight Night 30, but still dude, get it together for God’s sake. Lineker also missed weight on his first attempt before UFC 169, but made it on his second try. Maybe the same thing will happen today and he won’t be responsible for a fourth catchweight fight in the UFC. We’ll update you after LOLineker‘s final appearance on the scale.

Update: Lineker made 126 pounds on his second try. But that’s five times out of eight UFC weigh-ins where Lineker hasn’t hit the mark on his first attempt — a 37.5% success rate. Not the kind of stat you want to be known for.

‘UFC 173: Barao vs. Dillashaw’ Weigh-In Results: Is Hendo Suffering From Shrinkage?

(Props: YouTube.com/UFC)

All 24 fighters competing at tomorrow night’s UFC 173: Barao vs. Dillashaw event in Las Vegas successfully made weight earlier today, and everyone managed to keep their hands to themselves. The only noteworthy moment was co-headliner Dan Henderson coming in at 199 pounds — a full six pounds below the light-heavyweight limit — for his fight against Daniel Cormier. Is he shrinking without TRT, or has he finally cut all carbs out of his life? A little of both, maybe?
