The official weigh-in event for UFC 98: "Evans vs. Machida" from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, has come to a close.
It was a close call for Matt Serra, who was seen in the sauna just an hour before tipping the scale. "The Terror" however was able to hit his mark.
Mike Pyle was given extra time to weigh in as a result of being called up on short notice to replace Chris Wilson. He reached 172 and was not penalized for the overage.
Outside of Serra and Pyle, it was a rather pedestrian affair with no real fireworks with the exception of an intense staredown between main event participants Rashad Evans — who drew a mixture of boos and cheers — and Lyoto Machida.

205 lbs.: UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Rashad Evans (205) vs. Lyoto Machida (204)
