The official weigh in event for Strikeforce: "Rockhold vs. Jardine" took place today (Fri., Jan. 6, 2012) LIVE from the HRH Lounge at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada.
All but one of the 18 fighters on the card made their contracted weight with just Nah-Shon Burrell coming in one pound heavy for his welterweight scrap against James Terry (170-pounds) on the undercard.
Burrell has one hour to cut the additional pound and we'll pass along word if and when he does so.
"Rockhold vs. Jardine" will feature newly-minted middleweight champion Luke Rockhold, defending his 185-pound belt for the first time against long-time Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) veteran, Keith Jardine, in the main event of the evening.
