UFC on Versus 2 weigh in results LIVE from San Diego for 'Jones vs Matyushenko'

by Jesse Holland on Jul 31, 2010 8:42 PM EDT in UFC Weigh-Ins

The official weigh-in event for UFC on Versus 2: "Jones vs. Matyushenko" took place TONIGHT (July 31) at the San Diego Sports Arena in San Diego, California.

All 20 fighters, with the exception of one -- DaMarques Johnson -- tipped the scales without incident, including main event participants Jon "Bones" Jones and Belarusian brawler Vladimir "The Janitor" Matyushenko.

Johnson, a The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) alum, was given extra time to shed the extra baggage; however, he could only drop a half-pound. The California State Athletic Commission (CSAC) wouldn't let him continue any longer, ruling that the welterweight bout would take place at a catchweight of 172 pounds.

Win or lose, Johnson will have to forfeit 20 percent of his purse to his opponent, Matthew Riddle, for the slip.

what is funny about this picture is the woman on our left had the same facial expression ......

and hairstyle for another weigh in i think for ufc 116? it’s like a carbon copy. strange indeed.

I'm all about covering the spread and moneylines. Glory favors the bold. Chance favors the prepared mind. Luck, well i have that too. University of Utah goes to the Pac-12 conference in 2011. I expect them to compete immediately for the conference CG. I still will always follow the Mountain West Conference. Brock Lesnar will defeat Cain Velasquez and face the winner of Junior Dos Santos vs Roy Nelson where he will defeat JDS and stake his claim as pound for pound champion. Womens MMA, the next big thing in sports. 5 weeks till the first game of college football. UTAH vs Pitt. September 2nd 2010.

Why does Johnson have to forfeit 20% of his purse to "Matthew Little", I thought he was fighting Matthew Riddle. Seems a little unfair on Riddle to fight a bigger opponent but a random spectator is given the extra cash.
