Keep refreshing this page for the latest in weight-sucking from
Portland, Oregon in anticipation of Saturday's UFC 102: Couture vs.
Nogueira. And remember: if you don't pass out on the scale, you're not
trying.
7:04 p.m. ET -- Mark Munoz enters. The “Filipino Wrecking Machine” is sort of -- strange, no? Do we call Jardine the “Caucasian Dean of Mean”? Munoz is 185.5. Nick Catone sucking it in a little bit. 185.5.
7:06 p.m. ET -- Todd Duffee strolls up the stairs. Barrel-chested fellow. 251 lbs. Tim Hague: 263.5 with gum.
7:08 p.m. ET -- Cop Mike Russow gets on the scale with a t-shirt on. That’s always a little weird. Maybe he didn’t manscape. 260 even. Justin McCully waves to a receptive (i.e. non-booing) crowd. A little imaginary lat syndrome happening. 238.
7:11 p.m. ET -- Anime-haired Chris Tuchscherer steps on: 258 lbs. Gabriel Gonzaga gets a good reaction. He’s got his mouthpiece in. The man is ready for anything. 259 lbs.
7:12 p.m. ET -- Aaron Simpson enters. “Let’s go, Herman!” someone yells. The life of a prelim fighter. 185 even. Ed Herman follows. 185.5.
7:14 p.m. ET -- Jake Rosholt to the scale. 185 lbs. What distracting hairstyle will Chris Leben adopt tonight? Oh. He’s looking normal. 185.
7:16 p.m. ET -- Krzysztof Soszynski coming in. Mr. Mxyzptlk weighs in at 205 even. Brandon Vera in the Speedos. 205.
7:17 p.m. ET -- Demian Maia on stage: Royce Gracie 2009. 185 even. Thiago Silva is 205, Keith Jardine the same. Silva puts on his sunglasses for the staredown.
7:22 p.m. ET -- Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira vs. Dorian Grey: A solid Nogueira steps to the scale. He was 246 lbs. for the Mir fight; 231 lbs. here. Randy Couture, 220 for Brock Lesnar, is the same weight but looks better. He steps down and immediately sips the blood of a baby to replenish.
