The official weigh in event for UFC Fight Night 61: "Bigfoot vs. Mir" went down earlier today (Sat., Feb. 21, 2015) from inside Gigantinho Gymnasium in Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, featuring the much-ballyhooed heavyweight main event pitting Antonio "Bigfoot" Silva against former UFC heavyweight champion Frank Mir.

After the festivities wrapped, both men came face-to-face for the combat sports cameras. There's a lot on the line for these two goliaths, both now 35 years of age, as a loss could force UFC President Dana White to pull the dreaded retirement card.
