The official weigh-in event for UFC 111: "St. Pierre vs. Hardy" today (March 26) took place from the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey.
Georges St. Pierre and Dan Hardy, as well as Frank Mir and Shane Carwin, participants in the two title fights that will headline the card, all hit their respective marks. Mir and Carwin actually maxed out the scales, coming in lean and huge at 265 pounds apiece.
Rory Markham, however, was not so fortunate. In fact, he may have broken the scale after he came in six pounds over the limit for his welterweight contest against Nate Diaz.
It apparently didn't sit well with Diaz, who immediately got in Markham's face and started jawing. Or, that could just be Nate Diaz. Regardless, Markham was unable to shed the extra baggage and will be penalized financially for the mishap.
