Ufc on fx 7 weigh-in results: Bisping, belfort on weight
SAO PAULO – MMAjunkie.com (UFC blog for UFC news, UFC rumors, fighter interviews and event previews/recaps*–*MMAjunkie.com) was on scene and reporting live from today's UFC on FX 7 fighter weigh-ins at Ibirapuera Gymnasium in Sao Paulo, where 21 of 22 competitors successfully made weight on their first attempt.
The festivities took place at Ibirapuera Gymnasium in Sao Paulo.
Among those weighing in were middleweights Michael Bisping (186) and Vitor Belfort (185), who headline Saturday's FX-televised main card. After an intense staredown at Thursday's press conference, today's was just as heated. Belfort, who angered Bisping on Thursday by resting a fist to his opponent's chin, kept his distance. But Bisping waved him off as the two fighters kept jawing.
Both, though, left the stage without incident.
Only preliminary-card fighter C.J. Keith missed weight on his first attempt. He weighed 157 pounds and has an additional hour to make weight.
