UFC 139 Weigh-In Results: Two Fighters Miss Weight

Nearly all the fighters for UFC 139 made weight Friday in San Jose, California, with a faulty scale causing issues and two fighters missing weight.
The California State Athletic Commission rep on site had difficulty reading the weights, causing UFC "babysitter to the stars" Burt Watson to become a bit more involved than usual. Shamar Bailey, Nick Pace and Miguel Torres all initially missed weights to varying degrees, but Joe Rogan told the crowd the scale on the stage was reading differently than a backstage scale.
UPDATE 8:10 PM: Pace gave up 20% of his purse before coming out, so he was definitely over. Bailey re-weighed himself afterward and was officially 158 pounds, also forfeiting 20% of his purse. On his third attempt nearly an hour later, Torres made weight.
The main event of UFC 139 is a light heavyweight match-up between former UFC light heavyweight champion Mauricio "Shogun" Rua and former Strikeforce and Pride champion Dan Henderson. Local favorite Cung Le faces former Pride superstar Wanderlei Silva in the co-main event.
Main Card:
Dan Henderson (203) vs. Mauricio "Shogun" Rua (205)Cung Le (185) vs. Wanderlei Silva (185)
Brian Bowles (136) vs. Urijah Faber (136)
Martin Kampmann (170.5) vs. Rick Story (170.5): Story got a bit too close to Kampmann, who responded with a shove. Dana White broke this up quickly.
Stephan Bonnar (205) vs. Kyle Kingsbury (205)
Preliminary Card:
Ryan Bader (205) vs. Jason Brilz (204)Michael McDonald (136) vs. Alex Soto (135)
Tom Lawlor (185) vs. Chris Weidman (185.5): Lawlor came out dressed up as Steven Seagal with black leather jacket and shooting glasses, pulling off a karate kick to his cohort.
Rafael dos Anjos (155.5) vs. Gleison Tibau (155)
Nick Pace (141) vs. Miguel Torres (136) Pace was officially six pounds over before he even came out and will forfeit 20% of his purse. Torres initially weighed in at 137 and then 136.5 before making weight at 8:10 PM EST.
Seth Baczynski (171) vs. Matt Brown (171)
Shamar Bailey (158) vs. Danny Castillo (155): Castillo came out in a tear-away tuxedo, Bailey in just boxer briefs. The commission rep was having problems reading the scale and seemed confused, saying and asking Joe Rogan "158 and a half? Is that what that says? Bailey later re-weighed in at 158 officially and was fined 20% of his purse.

I love how all these 205 have the foolish goal of getting the LHW belt back.
LOL Good luck with that.
"If you say Chael Sonnen I will light you on fire." -- Farthammer.
Jones is good and all
But it is MMA, and anything can happen. Truth be told, Jones will probably move up to HW when his gigantic ass starts having trouble making 205.
From everything coming out of his camp, he doesn’t even have a big cut at this point. He’s still young so he’ll probably fill out in a few years, but he’s gonna be at LHW for a while.

Yup, some people just don't gain mass in their legs
I leg pressed 3x my weight (no, that’s not breaking any records, but it’s decent) and still only had 16" quads.
Jones isn’t lacking any power in his glutes, as evidenced by his vicious throws. No need for him to gain any mass in his legs.

I didn't mean he was going to move up next week lol
I just get the feeling that the move will be relatively soon. Even still, I wouldn’t bet on him to destroy every single guy at LHW either. All it takes is the right guy with the right game plan.
I don't think it'll be so soon
A lot of people think it’ll be short term because he looks so big next to his competition. He’s relatively tall and has ridiculous reach, but his size relative to his weight is decieving.

He's basically a very lean HW
But he’s not the only one.
You never here anyone say how Cyrill Diabate(a true world class striker) is only good because of his reach(81").

I didn't realize Diabate had a reach like that
And the “only good because of his reach” argument is weak as hell. Yes, he does have some physical gifts, but pretty much every professional athlete has that to a degree. They still have to find a way to make that work effectively for them.

Exactly
His fight IQ + his willingness to put in the work (not just in the gym, but breaking down tape) are huge assets.
I guarantee that he, like the true greats in all sports, is one of those rare guys that when the shit truly hits the fan (like mid car crash), his perception of time greatly slows down, rather than speeds up like it does for most…by his mind’s perception, things (including his movements) are happening in slow motion in those moments…

Yeah
He said he was 212 a week out from the Rampage fight. Which is a few pounds lighter than he was before the Shogun fight, where he was a few pounds lighter than the Maty fight.
He said he was 226lbs in the cage against Maty FWIW.

I don’t see him being a HW for quite some time.

Agreed
At some point (maybe 3+ years hence), his body might change regardless of what he does, but for now, he is good.
And laugh as most will, but there is not a single HW I wouldn’t take him against, right now, today…

seriously...its crazy to think that those guys are probably fighting out of the weight class that would suit them the best
I mean, look at Kingsbury and then look at Rua…
I know Rua has the skills and all that good stuff, but eventually there will be a guy with the skills to match him, and then the strength and size will make the difference.

these fighters that miss weight should take a serious lesson with cutting weight with mister Gleison Tibau
he is one beefy guy for lightweight but always makes weight.
Actually
There needs to be some kind of upper limit where these guys just aren’t allowed to fight. 138 or something for a 135 fight. Weighing in a whole 5lbs heavier than Torres who actually cut the extra weight and just being able to forfeit 20% of your purse without even trying to cut any more weight is bullshit and puts Torres at a massive disadvantage from the get go.
As I understand the bout agreements,
Torres has the choice to accept or win via default, although I am sure that there would be huge negative repercussions to opting out…

Still
They need some hard and fast rules as this missing weight is becoming all to commonplace, and a lot of them don’t even bother trying to shift the extra weight.
by taptomyarmbar on Nov 19, 2011 3:34 AM EST up reply actions
They do have hard and fast rules
The overweight fighter loses a fifth to a quarter of their fight purse; I doubt Pace was contracted to make a lot any way since he’s a prelim bantamweight.
On top of that, despite the weight advantage the overweight fighter really isn’t favored to win. Coming in overweight usually means a brutal cut and can have a negative effect. I did a fanpost on it a while back that showed it was pretty much 50/50 win/loss ratio for fighters not making weight.

I agree in most cases it indicates a bad cut but I think there must be cases where the fighter thinks he can get a significant advantage for 20 or 25% of his purse by not cutting all the weight.
