UFC 104 weigh in results LIVE from Los Angeles for 'Machidavs Shogun'

The official weigh-in event for UFC 104: "Machida vs. Shogun" took place today (Oct. 23) LIVE at the LA Live Event Deck in Los Angeles, California.

UFC 104: "Machida vs. Shogun" features the first title defense for undefeated light heavyweight champion Lyoto Machida against fellow Brazilian Mauricio "Shogun" Rua in the main event of the evening.

In addition, rising talent Cain Velasquez and veteran Ben Rothwell will "wage war" in a super-sized heavyweight showdown.

Nineteen of the 22 fighters set to compete were successful in making their respective weights.

Lightweights Gleison Tibau and Josh "The Dentist" Neer both weighed in heavy for their main card lightweight battle. Tibau was a full pound over the limit while Neer only missed his mark by a half a pound. Both fighters have agreed to go ahead and fight at their respective weights.

Feared welterweight striker Anthony "Rumble" Johnson was the only other fighter on the card to miss weight. The 6'2" Johnson tipped the scales at a whopping 176 pounds -- a full 5 pounds over the division limit. Apparently "Rumble" and his team had already informed his opponent, Yoshiyuki Yoshida's, camp that he would be coming in overweight.

The fight will go on as planned; however, Johnson will surrender 20 percent of his purse to "Zenko."
