LAS VEGAS – MMAjunkie was on scene and reporting live from today’s UFC 170 fighter weigh-ins, where all 22 fighters on the card successfully made weight for their contests.
The festivities took place at Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas. The same venue then hosts Saturday’s fight card.
Among those weighing in were UFC women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey, who defends her title against fellow Olympic medalist Sara McMann in the main event. Both succesfully hit the 135-pound mark, and the two Olympic medalists each predicted a special result from the historic affair.
“I think this is going to be the best women’s fight the UFC has ever had,” McMann said.
“I think it’s an amazing, historic event for the UFC,” Rousey added. “It’s not two guys fighting that you found in the back of a bar.”
Additionally, Daniel Cormier hit the light-heavyweight mark for the first time in his career against former Olympic training partner and short-notice UFC newcomer Patrick Cummins in the co-feature. While the tension between the two was palpable, the pair refrained from another pre-fight clash.
