UFC 156 takes place tomorrow night at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, Nevada. Before the fighters can enter the cage, the fighters first took to the scales to make weight for tomorrow’s contest.
The weigh-ins started off a little odd with the first three fighters missing weight for tomorrow’s contest, prompting NSAC executive director Keith Kizer to ask the UFC’s Burt Watson if the scale was off. After the initial misses however, the rest of UFC 156 fighters were on weight for tomorrow’s card.
The most intense staredown of the festivities went to heavyweights Antonio “Bigfoot” Silva and Alistair Overeem, with Silva’s fist visibly shaking with rage. The former Strikeforce heavyweights will settle their differences tomorrow night in Las Vegas.

Frankie looks ready. Frankie said this cut was easy, could he eventually cut to 135? I heard he has cut 12 for this fight, and the champ Dominick walks around the same weight as frankie
Depends on how this fight goes really. A few have wondered about 135 for him. Really depends how tomorrow’s fight goes.
Does anyone know how much overeem and bigfoot weigh “normally”?
Bigfoot weighed something like 290 come fight time with Fedor. Reem goes into camps ~260.
