There's no turning back now.
The weigh-ins for UFC 71 are in the books and each fighter was able to make their respective weights.
Despite the powerhouse lineup the event took place with relatively little fanfare.
I know the UFC's image is being scrutinized by haters across the world of sports, but a tiny part of me still hoped to see Rampage and Liddell have a little tussle ala Sanchez/Koscheck.ÂÂ

LHW: Quinton Jackson (205) vs. Chuck Liddell (205)
LHW: Houston Alexander (202) vs. Keith Jardine (205)
