The official weigh-in event for UFC 92: "The Ultimate 2008" today took place from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
And if the scale-tipping event is any barometer of what to expect tomorrow night then the year-end blockbuster show for the promotion will indeed live up to its expectations.
Arch rivals Quinton "Rampage" Jackson and Wanderlei Silva -- who thus far have been cordial during their promotion when together -- finally had the public explosion most fans were expecting.
The staredown was heated and Jackson appeared to bump "The Axe Murderer." The fiery Brazilian fired back with a two-handed shove reminiscent of their confrontation back in Pride FC years back.
Good stuff.
Former UFC heavyweight champion Frank Mir appears to be in the best shape of his life. And light heavyweight Forrest Griffin and Rashad Evans also looked very fit.
It should make for a great night of fights tomorrow evening.
Here are the complete UFC 92 weigh in results:
205 lbs.: UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Forrest Griffin (205) vs. Rashad Evans (203)
265 lbs.: UFC Interim Heavyweight Champion Antonio Rodrigo "Minotauro" Nogueira (246) vs. Frank Mir (251)
205 lbs.: Quinton "Rampage" Jackson (206) vs. Wanderlei Silva (203)
265 lbs.: Cheick Kongo (233) vs. Mustafa Al-Turk (237)
185 lbs.: C.B. Dollaway (186) vs. Mike Massenzio (184)
185 lbs.: Yushin Okami (185) vs. Dean Lister (186)
265 lbs.: Antoni Hardonk (246) vs. Mike Wessel (260)
205 lbs.: Matt Hamill (205) vs. Reese Andy (206)
170 lbs.: Ryo Chonan (171) vs. Brad Blackburn (170)
265 lbs.: Dan Evensen (242) vs. Pat Barry (233)

i wonder what rampage said to make wandy push him?
by medecine balls on Dec 26, 2008 7:23 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
He knew no matter what he said it would set wand off. Everyone up there was so nervous. It’s gonna be sick.
by NameNotRequired on Dec 26, 2008 7:27 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
I dunno but last time rampage said something and was pushed by wandy he got ktfo.
by rydinlow on Dec 26, 2008 7:27 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
He probably said that Wandy’s entrance music is gay….which it is.
by Mike T. on Dec 26, 2008 7:28 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
lol so is Rampage’s. Come on gay entrance music or not, both these guys are hardcore and even if Wanderle’s entrance music is gay he already KTFO of Rampage twice. Looked like Rampage was confident which is good, but, he was the first 2 times and look what happned. Silva looked like a maniac.
by Chadx23 on Dec 26, 2008 7:45 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Wandy looked in amazing shape. He dropped muscle from the Jardine fight and looks as small as he was in PRIDE. Speed kills.
by R/p on Dec 26, 2008 8:49 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Rampage is going to win, then hang with Stephon Marbury afterward and have the truck party to end all truck parties.
by PW on Dec 26, 2008 9:27 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
wats a truck party? can i come :)
by squarechoke on Dec 26, 2008 9:38 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
A joke, referring to both Rampage’s road rage incident and reports of Marbury nailing a NY Knicks intern in the back of his truck during the Isaiah Thomas trial. That being said, I’m not sure you would want to take part in either of those truck parties.

badr hari vs overeem official on dream website…..looking foward to both the events..

by Cemetary rapist on Dec 26, 2008 7:27 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Run ? What did you think ? That Wanderlei would stay there and have a coffe ?
by Il Nino on Dec 26, 2008 8:22 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Id call it more like leaving the stage before he was aggravated to the point of killin Quinton
by medecine balls on Dec 26, 2008 8:28 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
oof Rampage vs Wanderlei is gonna be insane!!
by RoB on Dec 26, 2008 7:28 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
246. thats gott be his heaviest ever. he is getting older, so we’ll see.
by b.w. on Dec 26, 2008 7:37 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
yeah, his usual weight is 232 I think

i think rogan got turned on when lister stripped naked. just j/k. :)

Nog is sustantially heavier, and not in a good way. Cardio/stamina is thought to be a huge advantage for Nog, but we’ll see if 15 pounds or so of extra baggage negates that advantage. Recent history has been that Hvywt’s who come in toting extra pds. do not generally fare so well. Nog is a heavy favorite, but this is not a good development for him.

Nog will beat the crap outta Mir “The Super Athlete”

ye wats up with the super athelete business?? he looked particularly uncoordinated in the penalty shootout contest!?!? haha

UFC.com had a feed to “Bill Pulver” some gospel thing, but i found a live feed from Yahoo!
Wandy VS Q Jax is going to be sick, one of the best pushes at a weigh in since Diego almost launched KOS off the stage!
Forrest looks smaller, as does Wandy (tho minimal).
Evans
Mir
Wandy

just watched it live and mir is deffinatly in shape, i said from the start if he comes in shape i think he’ll win and that hasn’t changed, i see him winning the desision. rampage and wandi were pretty intense, i’m looking forward to that fight so much now, i’m not to bothered who wins i just want to see a good fight, if i had to pick i’d say rampage by 2nd rd KO. I think forrest will take rashad to desision and i think he’ll win it by dominating the later rounds, i see rashad coming out and trying to KO forrest in the 1st round. i can’t wait for it now, been looking forward to it more than any other card i think, i just hope it lives up to what it should be

Rashad by GnP
Wand by vicious Gnp
Nog by KO
Mustafa by who cares…

How can any rational thinking person respect Rampage? The guy is an idiot. Does he really believe his own words when he says Wandy got lucky both times he knocked him the fuck out? The only difference between tomorrow and the Pride fights is that there will be no ropes for Rampage to fall through. Which one of your friends is the devil going to go after you lose this time, Quinton? Do us all a favor and leave the truck keys with someone who actually gives a shit about you (as hard as it may be to find someone meeting that criteria).
by the_mexicutioner on Dec 26, 2008 7:33 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
he said the both times were the 1rst time he’s ever been koed and that he still hasn’t watched the 2nd fight. road-page is an excuse maker. right after he loses he’s all cool and “i got my ass whooped”, then a week or so after he always has some lame excuse like food poisining, wandi was protected, he did’nt train right, he didnt really lose etc. i wonder what his excuse will be once wandi knocks that gold toof out of his mouf this time. WAR WANDI! :)
by b.w. on Dec 26, 2008 7:44 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
I’m going for Wanderlei all the way, but how can any rational thinking person speak with that kind of confidence about the outcome of the fight? The reality is that Rampage has made tremendous improvements with his stand-up and should be the favorite tomorrow.
by Jono on Dec 26, 2008 8:03 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
My thoughts exactly. He keeps acting like a punk but people keep saying how “great” he is.
He’s a nogood lying criminal.
by Lester the Pimp on Dec 26, 2008 8:06 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
in his defense he’s just a man with a fragile ego. i don’t think wandi has that “thing” anymore. i think since leaving chutebox he’s lost a lot of his edge but we shall see.
by jonsey on Dec 26, 2008 8:32 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
b.w., mexicutioner…I said it before, I’ll say it again…Rampage wins this fight. Like him or not he’s going to to get Wandy this time. Bet that.
by Diceman on Dec 27, 2008 12:52 AM EST up reply actions 0 recs
bit of a harsh post mexi! rampage isnt going to say ye wandi is much better than me – fighters have to believe in themselves otherwise they wouldnt be to fight. rampage has had a few problems but he is still a legend.
by squarechoke on Dec 26, 2008 9:43 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
definitely, sports are all about the mental game! gotta have confidence baby even if it takes lying to yourself..
by RoB on Dec 26, 2008 11:11 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Silva will win over rampage. When silva shaves his head, he means to kill.
by Il Nino on Dec 26, 2008 7:34 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
this is true. This fight is definately going to be good

Whats going to happen with RAMPAGE if he gets beat? Silva looks tuff as nails—-3peat!
by Graytone on Dec 26, 2008 8:12 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
rampage all the way. he has improved tremendously since those brutal losses. 2nd round KO. rampage, forrest, minitauro
by TheOne on Dec 26, 2008 8:26 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Wandy don’t look the same. He trying to psyche himself out. He’s gonna give you 2-3 minutes of action before Rampage start tearing him down limb by limb…. Rampage came off a lil nervous but that can be good for you. Can’t wait.
by delldog on Dec 26, 2008 8:40 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
For me: Griffin by submission, Mir by TKO, Wanderlei by TKO or surprise submission.
by DownUnder on Dec 26, 2008 9:05 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Mir by TKO? Have you ever seen Nog fight? There is a better chance of Mir winning by Nog choking to death from swallowing gum than that.
by Psyqo78®™ on Dec 27, 2008 2:45 AM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Rashad will be the new champ, Wand will win again, and Nog will disprove Mir’s athletic advantage.
Rampage is one of my all-time favorite, but he will most likely lose becuase the match-up doesn’t favor him.
By the way, has Page improved, he seems the same fighter to me as from his Pride days.
Either way, I can’t wait to see this card. It’s stacked from top to bottom. The great match-ups that we may see time permitting are Hamill-Andy and Blackburn-Chonan these fights have potential for fireworks and great technique.
Okami-Boogeyman may be the most one sided matchup since Swick-Goulet lay money down on this one if you have it,this is automatic for Yushin.
In the remaining fights I’ll take, Kongo, C.B., Hardonk(K-1 icon),and Evenson. Cheick for sure, the other guys I just feel have a better shot than their opponents.
Enjoy the fights MMA fans. This is our holiday season, we have some great events with UFC and Dreams this week. Soak it in while you can, these match-ups and excitement are priceless.

Have you watched Page lately? He has for sure changed. Wandy is still gonna put him in a coma. If i was page, especially after the weigh-ins Id be on a plane back to Wolfslair.

Agreed on everything else but the CB fight, hes gettin subbed.
