UFC 103 weigh in results LIVE from Dallas for 'Franklin vs Belfort' (Updated)

why would tyson weigh in at 155 if the fight was at a catch weight of 159?

He is a small 155’er who previously fought at 145. He may not cut weight to make 155.

OR, maybe last night or this morning Franca’s camp approached Dana and Griffin’s camp and explained that Franca couldn’t make weight, and the catch weight was agreed upon then… meaning that Tyson had already cut his weight.

All the veterans of the sport are going to shock the MMA world. PHENOM by KO—-TWINKLE TOES by decision—-CRO COP by DECAPITATION!!!!!!

tapout-everyone of ’em, except that Dos Santos has this one!

He does kinda look like him, huh? Seeing the saw 6 preview made me remembered that Halloween 2 was terrible. I’m so disappointed, they are in my fav movies and they are killing the franchise. Damn Zombie and Akkad jr.

The original Halloween 1 and Halloween H20 were frigging awesome. Classics.

Yep, 1, 2, H20 were the best. I even said before that the remake of Zombie first movie was very good. But the second one… gee, what a dumb thing to do. Not the same story at all from the original. 2 is my fav of all of them so I was really pissed.

Damn Mod… And GI Joe was good BTW.

I didn’t mind halloween 2, but I was never into the originals.
GI joe looked good, my son said it was, and it was cute to hear a 7 year old say that there were pretty girls in it too!

Kevin, I still can’t believe TNA hired Trigg for several months because he looks like Kurt Angle, what a joke.

The original Halloween was a classic and I’ve heard good things about Halloween 2, but like all horror franchises they ruined it by making pointless sequels (to be fair H:20 was good but they ruined that by retconning the ending in the next film and killing off JLC) that were nowhere near as good as the original before an even more pointless remake (at times not even remotely like the original) is released.

Unfortunately Saw, which started off with a quality original film, has fallen for this trap and gone on to release unneccessary sequels that are more about gore than plot, which is a shame because the original was my favourite ever horror film. I won’t be surprised at all if they make a remake of Saw in a few years time that isn’t in the same league as the original. Hopefully they end the series with this next film because another would just be ridiculous.

I am a huge Halloween fan, haven’t seen the new one yet.. GI Joe was always gonna be good with Channing Tatum in it

Halloween 2 was THE worst movie of 2009 right next to District 9 i shut that movie off after stealing it for 20 minutes.

District 9 was an amazing movie, sure the first half hour was sort of documentary but it was great from start to finish, definately top 3 this year

No Roberto, GI Joe will alwayd be good with Sienna Miller’s hot as$ on it, hehehe!

Halloween 3 was the absolute worst. Nothing at all to do with Michael Myers, just a bunch of halloween masks from some crazy company. Not to mention that awful song getting stuck in your brain.

“2 more days till halloween, halloween, halloween. 2 more days till halloween, Silver Shamrock”

Kev: I just came back from the weight-ins and Vitor was over by three pounds and had to get completely naked to get down to 196.5 lbs. Not impressive.

Also over weight was the mexican fighter Efriam.

The UFC, Dana and company are staying at the Hilton Anatole here in Dallas.

Franklin got the biggest cheer with CroCop next….people actually booed Koscheck….and for some reason the crowd cheered for McFeddries.

good stuff buddy, I’m a huge Vitor fan, but this worries me! I really wanna see him and Silva at MW!

Did he?

Nah, he’s not as ripped at 195 but he didn’t look horrible. I am surprised he came in heavy though considering yesterday he weighed 200 lbs in that blog?? 5 lbs shouldn’t have been that tough.

Yeah. Crap.

i don’t think he made weight?

He had an hour to lose a quarter of a pound?

Why you guys saying that Vitor looked in horrible shape? Is it b/c of what you saw the old previewed fights Highlight, where he looks way bigger? He looks the same that he was against Lindland.

Nah, he looks softer and less defined than he did against Lindland. Apparently his cardio is better now though, and physiques don’t tell us that much in this sport. He’s faster than ever with less muscle to carry as well.

A guy that I’m worry about is Cro Cop. He was suppose to be around 245 for this match up and he came in at 225. Not a good sign. Damn that I hope that I’m wrong.

JJ you saw how much love Kampmann was getting at the weigh in? He won’t sell more than Stun Gun if he’s the next in line.

Your honor, I present to the court defence exhibit A: Thales Leites.

If that guy can get a title shot, so can Kampmann. Sometimes they just need an opponent for a title fight, and they throw in the best available candidate. This could well be a situation where that is the case.

lol, yeah, I hope not. If he is, I’ll seriously send a email to complain to Zuffa .

And bear in mind that unlike Stun Gun, Kampmann HAS at least headlined one UFC event.

Yeah and he could’ve did it twice if he wouldn’t injured himself before fighting Franklin.
I was saying Stun Gun b/c of your joke of the rec center. IMO, Swick got to be the next, then the winner of Alves/Fitch, then the other contenders. that would give them 1 year to get wins and determined the next in line.

I’m very worried about Vitor, he did not look good at the weigh-ins and considering that he wants to fight at 185 it is shocking that he struggled to make 195, I knew that he should have been doing more than watching the US Open final. So much for him fighting Andy anytime soon, I now have serious reservations about him beating Franklin. Hopefully Vitor can prove me wrong but this was certainly a step in the wrong direction and Rich is going to be the fighter in much better condition.

Kampmann is nowhere near ready a title shot but unfortunately Swick got injured, the AKA trio won’t face each other and GSP has been too dominant so it would be difficult to promote any rematches. I don’t think wins over some can, Condit and Semtex should get Kampmann anywhere near a title shot and he got smashed by Nate at MW but at this point any GSP fight at WW would be a one sided beatdown, so he is the best option at present. That is why I want to see GSP move up to MW, as he’s cleared out the WW division. Unless Shields and Nick Diaz are on there way to the UFC, GSP should move up if he is going to face better competition.

245? are u sure u heard right? Cro Cop would either be fat as hell, or roided to get to that weight.. him being at 225lbs (his usual weight) in shape is a good sign, it’s all about letting his hands and kicks fly!

Im almost positive that cro cop came in slightly above 240 at his last fight(to my surprise) against mustapha al turk…but you’re right..225 is about his usual weight.

Yeah RoB, that’s what he said that he wanted to do for this fight… put on more weight. Though Mirko probably have problem to figuring out his own weight. At the weigh-in Dana asked him how much he was supposed to weigh, and he said 230, then he got on the scale and it was 226.

He should be fine though.

got hate?

Absolutely :) I thought that was pretty clear.

yeah, considering starting chip stack is 2k, I accumulated 2800 and haven’t played since june (chip leader has 3600, i’d say I did ok. Buy in is 240, and I don’t know why I justified the reply. I haven’t worked more than 6 months in a year and make more playing poker than most make with a real job! sorry you find it necessary to jump on every comment I make, your life must really suck!

what I dont get skope…is why?

it’s working, cool, that silver star or whatever update works great!

nice to hear, winning $$ on poker is such a good feeling!

you accumulated 2800 and starting stack was 2k? wow your killing it. lmao

lol yeah considering thats top 5. what do you think you get 800 a win? Like I said (if you could read), the chip leader has 3600 and I played 3 out of the 6 months of qualifiers…I was chip leader in june when I stopped for the summer (chilling with my son is more important than poker. I got 1st on wed. in my 3rd tournament back and made final table all 3 days! Man skope, is it to much for you not to hate? When I was accumulating my 2800, I made 12k in less than 6 weeks… I’m sure that sucks too in 65 and 100 dollar tournaments! you are amusing me today!

How is having 2800 and starting with 2000 a good day i mean what did you guys play for 3 hours

dude your talking in circles, you cant even clearly explain what you did bro. Stop phibbn

Lol u have no reading comprehension do u? The tournament is tomorrow, those r accumulated starting chips. This is a tournament of champions, maybe u don’t know how that works. Over the last 6 months everytime u win a tournament u get extra starting chips for this tournament while people that won once sta
rt with 2k. Does that clear it up for u?

oh no i get it now i thought you just meant tourny in general not TOC lol this is Dougy by the way Good luck man

lmao, I figured it was skope or thecloser.
thanks buddy, i got good momentum, made final table 3 times this week and won one!

If it’s me you’ll know it. But you are good at making enemies all on your own. These are the reasons why people don’t like you. They banned what I said before, it’s as if Jesse likes you a lot, but how could that be??

hahahaha “i’m kevin, i’m a high roller, i play cards instead of working!! i throw down 300k on every ppv i’m so cool!!” you are a total bs’er buddy!!

lol 300k??? I haven’t bet mma in a long time and the buy in is 240 dollars, sorry you can’t afford that!

This is a great card and the prelims being aired only makes it better. I dont see how the Franlin/Belfort fight or Crocop/JDS could disappoint. Trigg/Koscheck should be good too. Def worth the PPV $ IMO.

It never fails that the cards that look like duds, turn out to have some of the best fights. For example, I don’t think anybody was overly excited about Wednesday, but that turned out to be pretty damn entertaining.

104 is 1000x times better than this. That is the greatest ME the UFC has put ever put on. Okami and Sonnen are both top 10. Hardonk/Berry should be a great kickboxing war. Also Ryan Bader is on the card and he looked like a beast and is undefeated. Velazquez is a top contender but could well lose to Rothwell. Stevenson and Fisher also two highly ranked LWs. Not to mention AJ—the owner of the single dumbest post-fight interview i’ve ever seen—is fighting Yoshida. The only problem is the choices they made as to what’s gettin televised. 104 is a super-exciting card.

Thats a big possibility BNF! The hype that a new challenger would be better than two who have already lost. If that were to happen, then I say put Nate/Hendo on the same card for next shot at the winner.

I’d like to see Vitor/Wand 2 at 185.

That sounds like a plan to me JV. And the UFC is always doing things like that anyways. Anderson, Rampage, Brock, ect…

I hope so BNF!

Hmmm, we’ll see on Saturday[well, Sunday here]…

I’d rather see Hendo get his promised rematch while Belfort destroys Marquardt or Wandy at 185. That will up the hype for the Vitor/Anderson fight.

I know a lot of you guys don’t think Dan deserves a rematch over Nate, but how can you complain about Rampage breaking his promise to Dana and then say Dana doesn’t have to keep his promise to HEndo. He said repeatedly and publicly that if Dan beat Bisping, he would “DEFINITELY” be the next one to challenge Silva for the belt.

I’m a way bigger Vitor fan than Hendo fan, but Vitor just got back and most fans in this generation don’t have a clue who he is. Two fights in the UFC before getting a title shot is not unreasonable.

Guys can be a ripped 225 and cut 20 pounds of water. Cro-Cop could definitely cut to 205.

If he loses this fight we just may see that.

Doing Gina would make you lose weight.

Sperm weight.

Ya also I don’t remember them ever going to quarter pound precision so perhaps your right they may have got some new scales that are a bit wonky.
