MMA Fight Pit: Genesis weigh in results for 'Alexander vs Al-Hassan' on Aug. 13

by Brian Hemminger on Aug 12, 2011 10:20 PM EDT in Regional MMA News & Results

The official weigh in event for MMA Fight Pit: Genesis took place today (August 12, 2011), at the LIbrary Bar and Grill in downtown Albuquerque, New Mexico. It was the last pre-fight event before tomorrow night's card, which airs live on pay-per-view at 9 p.m. ET

All but two fighters made the two-pound weight allowance under the New Mexico State Athletic Commission. Only Ultimate Fighter alumni Junie Browning and his late replacement opponent Jacob Clark failed to make weight. Both men will still be allowed to compete.

Headlining the main event will be a pair of UFC veterans. Fan favorite Houston Alexander looks to continue his win streak against submission specialist Razak Al-Hassan in an interesting stylistic match-up.

Former UFC lightweight champion Jens Pulver will square off against WEC veteran Coty Wheeler as he continues to attempt to turn his career around. Pulver had recently been on a two fight win streak before losing in the main event of Titan Fighting Championships a couple months back.

Lastly, The Ultimate Fighter season 11 bad boy Jamie Yager will look to cash in on some of his fame in a middleweight match-up against upstart prospect Willie Parks.

I've never seen so many weights missed in 1 event. They must train w Travis Lutter.

This event needs to be sponsored by Stacker2.

"It’s Mark Pavelich calling from the Maximum Fighting Championship,

I’ve just received notice that Drew Fickett or you, I don’t care which one of you fuckers did it, has signed a contract to fight in Strikeforce this fucking weekend. I’m going to get on a fucking plane soon and go where you’re at and choke you the fuck out. I’m telling you right now, I’ve had enough of your fucking shit. First of all, I’ve sent you the fucking pictures and secondly, I placed Drew Fickett in a fight fucking months ago and five weeks prior to my main event of my fucking fight card. You’re going to give me a fucking call tomorrow or I swear I’ll get on a fucking plane and go right where you’re at right now. You’re pissing me off, I’ve been nothing but professional to you motherfuckers and you’re doing this kind of bullshit, alright? Call me back, I’m fucking pissed."

Only one person missed weight

"......I'm the best ever. I'm the most brutal and vicious, the most ruthless champion there has ever been. No one can stop me. Lennox is a conqueror? No! He's no Alexander! I'm Alexander! I'm the best ever. I'm Sonny Liston. I'm Jack Dempsey....My style is impetuous, my defense is impregnable, and I'm just ferocious......." - Mike Tyson

The commission and promoters have a rule that all fighters are allowed to be 2 pounds over the usual weight,

Terrible

Why even have weight limits if you can be 2lbs over? And why do people still book that lunatic Junie? These scumbag promoters will sign up anyone with the slightest bit of fame no matter how unreliable they are in or out of the cage.

Anderson Silva is still the P4P King of MMA and will be 14-0 in the UFC after Rio, Jon Jones is the future P4P King and will smash Quittin inside 3 rounds and I told everyone from the start that Cain and JDS were the best 2 HWs in the world. TRT is the get out clause for drug cheats and UFC 133 officially sucks.

Why have limits? Most small shows allow 2 pounds. It is just a practice, just because most places have 1 pound limits doesnt mean the world has to follow that model.

And promoters have a job of selling tickets, ppvs and getting attention. Junie brings that, simple enough
