The official weigh-in event for UFC 107: "Penn vs. Sanchez" is on the books, having just wrapped today (Dec. 11), LIVE from the FedEx Forum in Memphis, Tennessee.
UFC color commentator Joe Rogan perhaps summed it up best when he said, "What is it about Memphis? Is there heavy air here?"
Heavy air indeed, as five fighters had to strip to nothing but their birthday suits in order to make weight. By the time the third fighter "took to the pole" so-to-speak, the Memphis crowd had seen enough, chanting, "Fix the scales!"
First, welterweight fighter Edgar Garcia weighed in at 173 lbs (he's since made weight) and left the scale looking confused. His opponent, TUF 9 veteran DaMarques Johnson, stripped bare to shed the half pound preventing him from making weight.
Both Ricardo Funch and Johnny Hendricks followed suit, prompting Rogan to say, "Half a pound of underwear, ladies and gentlemen. Might want to clean those bad boys."
The Main Card fighters saw fewer problems making weight than did their undercard counterparts. That is until the Main Event, when lightweight challenger Diego Sanchez missed weight for his long-awaited title bout against champion B.J. Penn by one pound (he's since shed a pound and a half without much fanfare).
In the Co-Main Event, former heavyweight champion Frank Mir (looking bigger than ever) was ready for his staredown against the Wolfslair's Cheick Kongo ... only Kongo refused to face him. Instead the Frenchman turned his back completely on Mir, who pointed at his opponent, smiled and made a choking motion with his hands.
Is that a sign of things to come?
Diego Sanchez perhaps summed it up best at the conclusion of the weigh-in event by stating the obvious (er ... kind of). When asked by Rogan about how he's feeling heading into the biggest fight of his career, the TUF 1 champion said, "Two words ... one word: Destiny."
"Penn vs. Sanchez" will feature a main event between lightweight division champion, BJ "The Prodigy" Penn, defending his title against number one division contender, Diego "Nightmare" Sanchez, filling in the hole left by "Sugar" Rashad Evans and Quinton Jackson after "Rampage" went Hollywood.
In the co-featured fight of the night, former two-time heavyweight champion Frank Mir will "begin his quest for a third title" when he takes on the hard-hitting Cheick Kongo. In addition, a lightweight showdown between former number one contender Kenny "KenFlo" Florian and Clay "The Carpenter" Guida is also on tap.

rampage and rashad not fighting weighs in at alot of B.S..
hopefully the fights will be exciting..but after how much tuf sucked this year and all the stooopid hype between rash and ramp..grrrrrr
Cringe worthy...
Am I the only one cringing at the thought of having to listen to Rogan interview Diego after the weigh-ins? Diego has to be one of the most painful interviews in all of MMA. He is such a tool. Can’t wait for BJ to break him apart.
He's just awkward
that alone doesn’t make him a tool.

Diego's wacky
That’s what I like about him, you never know what he’s going to say. I’d be a fan of his if he hadn’t have bashed the UK fans in an interview, I can’t support people that don’t want to fight at a show that I’ve paid tickets to go and see.
"I’m in great shape...I feel 100% you know it’s nice to move my hips and not have any problems...I’ll take my loss as a man. I’m willing to die for my cause, are you?" Tito Ortiz before UFC 106
"I wasn’t able to spar at all...I had bulging disks...I want to see somebody fight with a cracked skull, I came in and stepped in with a cracked skull...why the fuck did you give that fight of the night?...for me not getting Fight of the Night I’m taken aback by it...I gave my heart and soul and to be robbed like that, yeah it is what it is." Tito Ortiz after UFC 106
Hmm...
That’s a pretty shitty card really. Apart from top two fights I’d rather see half the undercard than the rest of the main event :(
If you've never seen
Guida weigh in, you don’t want miss this. He weighs in the same way Diego fights!

Why mention gay porn?
Since that comment the weigh-ins have turned into a gay porn movie, 3 naked men bloody hell.
Seriously those scales are shite, the TSAC sucks.

Tito Ortiz after UFC 106
Where are you watching the weigh ins?
everytime i go to UFC.com to watch the weigh ins, it never loads properly. any sugguestions?
Also, Gay porn comment was to the guy that can’t wait to see Guida v Florian….not meant to be a knock on the poster, but rather a knock on Guida cuz all of his fights look like gay porn.
that bitch is so dumb
I watched an interveiw with her and logan and they both piss me off so much, they are so dumb
"Extreme Coacher"
She didn’t even know Randy Couture’s last name and she called his gym, “Extreme Coacher” and “Extreme Cowtyur” and several other variations. How can you work for the flippin UFC and not know how to pronounce Randy Couture’s name?!?
kongo is a dick
French fucking pussy. (no offense french canadians). I hope Mir breaks this pricks arm!
Rogan – You’ve worked your whole life for tomorrow night. What do you have to say?
Diego – I just have 2 words…“Destiny”
LMAO!! WTF!?
Hilarious
I knew that Diego would say something daft.

Good replacement
Hopefully Jim’s working on his wrestling a lot, he struggled badly against Gray and surprisingly got beaten up on the feet as well. Sherk will be another tough opponent for Jim, hopefully he can put on a better showing than he did the last time he took a step up in class.

Tito Ortiz after UFC 106
Mir is HUGE
He weighed in half a pound under the 265 limit…which means he may have actually cut for this. He used to weigh 245 and now he’s cutting to hit 265. He’s really taking Brock seriously. If Brock comes back too early, Mir could conceivably be the bigger fighter next time.
After all that shit talk what did you expect?
Once again Mir opened his big mouth and pissed off an opponent, why should they show him any respect when he’s spent the whole time bashing his opponent’s skills as a fighter as well as bashing his English skills?

Tito Ortiz after UFC 106
That was Mir's chance to sink in a RNC
And then God said "Let there be light," to which Chuck Norris replied, "say please."
Turning your back is the ultimate form of disrespect in a stare down
Kongo has no charisma so that was the best way for him to show the same amount of respect to Mir as he has shown to Kongo. I’m convinced that Kongo’s going to fight dirty in this one, I expect knees to the balls and extra punches to be thrown.

Tito Ortiz after UFC 106
True haha
Sad thing is that’s the only way Kongo wins big fights. I’m surprised Cro Cop has any balls left after facing Kongo and Overroids.

Tito Ortiz after UFC 106
It was the first time I've ever laughed with Kongo instead of at him

Tito Ortiz after UFC 106
I was joking around
It was a terrible coincidence that as soon as you mentioned gay porn the weigh-ins devolved into one, I mean 4 naked men bloody hell no wonder Arum thinks that the sport is for homosexuals.
The UFC stream worked fine for me, it got a bit grainy by the end but otherwise played well.

1/2 a lb apparently
Those scales were dreadful.

Gouveia/Belcher on the main card than Fitch/Pierce

That is the fight I want to see too
Figures this time we don’t get the prelims on Spike. Gouveia by KO. Belcher’s could barely hang with Herman on the feet, lol.

Don't you think
that you’re sig is a bit long, Dirty? I like it but it takes up so much space that it’s sort of hard on the eyes.
And then God said "Let there be light," to which Chuck Norris replied, "say please."
I’ve done 2 of those things, I’ll give you a hint, never seen labeuf, don’t like to run and i never surfed!
My pet peeve (everyone has one) is cold water. I hate it! I’ve only been in cali for 4 years… and lastly alpha, read the context of my post!
Dang it took me time to get it, but It’s not my falut if he doesn’t know how to spell ménage à trois. I did plenty of those, lol.

I know alpha, it was the context of my comment. I surfed in FL a few times while in college. I figured you may not have seen it!
Is Wiman

Ariel Helwani just tweeted he came in at 154.5 the second try. That scale is fucked.

Pretty funny that he bashed Brock for training like a bodybuilder, honestly does Mir think even for a second before he speaks? Intelligent my arse.

Exactly
Mir’s an overrated egomaniac. Kongo’s not much better like. I’m just waiting for one of them to get a brutal win over the other, then they can both go back to being irrelevant.

idk i didnt see it, Im listening on sherdog. can watch at work
265 is just huge for him
dude.....i am
Mir ate Brock
There’s no other explanation for him being 265.

he is only like 10 pounds more then he already was
not that big of a difference….he might of ate like miguel torres or somthing
missed the lot
that ufc website is shit, bad mood tonight, i apologise my friends, i hope kongo actually punches mir’s head into the crowd, and then waxes that stupid beard off it, would like to see goveia belcher on the main card, but i think the 3 main fights could go either way…diego gas got a great chance, just cos he is one of the biggest mentalists i have ever witnessed, and guida is just a human version of a pit bull terrier, with a seemingly limetless supply of energy, should all be good fights though, should be one of the best action packed cards in a long time, apart from the bitch, sorry i mean fitch fight, there i go again…

So we're friends now?
sorry mr spell checker genius and for your informateon i can spell an insult, i just have, why don’t you get your urine stained y fronts from behind your computer desk and stop trying to man love everyone who leaves a comment, and be a man, "ooh goldiggah i love you so much". see now i’m lowering myself to your level, and on the idiot subject, i don’t even need to address that topic.. sorry its that time of the month…the time of the month when any idiot with a keyboard can….etc etc, idiot
That didn’t sound too friendly. Neither was calling everyone on this site a “juevenile” 12 year old. Whatever man, posting random insults for no reason is not going to win you any friends over here and if you insult my intelligence or anyone elses then at least spell and punctuate properly.

I can’t wait to see this event. It’s the first good event in a while. The manchester one was a joke, Griffin VS Ortiz was OK, but we need some title cards so watching Bj Penn dispute his belt should be good!
The other fights are good also, I mean having Mir, florian, and the others on this card is amazing, but I’m looking forward to seeing DaMarques Johnson from TUF!
Oh and to those who are looking to watch it online, SportPPV.com will have it live for free. I watch every event on there and I asked the administrator earlier in email and he told me they’re going to have this one in HD for free.
So www.sportppv.com if you want to watch it for free. If you’re going to pay, www.fightsppv.com has it reduced 20% off, I’m going to watch it on sportppv.com cus I don’t have money to waste, but I might split membership to watch it officially on fightsppv if my friend will help pay.

105 was a very good card live, trust me the prelims had some sick finishes and were much more entertaining than the clinchfests otherwise known as the co-main events. Hardy and Vera both saved those 2 fights from being unwatchable, all Swick and Randy did was hold them against the cage.
I’m surprised that you are looking forward to seeing DaMarques fight, that loudmouth has never impressed me and it was great watching him get tooled by Wilks.
