The crop of fighters for UFC 73: “Stacked” have all weighed-in for the event tomorrow evening without incident.
Not too many sparks — rather uneventful event. However, Tito and Rashad were jawing at one another during the staredown. The UFC is pumping this “bitter” rivalry up for this match up pretty hard.
There was even a promo video before the champions weighed in with the two of them talking smack.
Anderson got in the face of Nate, but the two appear to share a mutual respect — just a little gamesmanship I suppose.
Here are the official results:
185 lbs.: Anderson Silva (184.5) vs. Nathan Marquardt (182.5)
155 lbs.: Sean Sherk (154.5) vs. Hermes Franca (154.5)
205 lbs.: Tito Ortiz (205.5) vs. Rashad Evans (204)
Hvywt.: Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira (240.5) vs. Heath Herring (259)
155 lbs.: Kenny Florian (155.5) vs. Alvin Robinson (156)
205 lbs.: Stephan Bonnar (204.5) vs. Mike Nickels (205.5)
155 lbs.: Jorge Gurgel (155.5) vs. Diego Saraiva (155)
170 lbs.: Chris Lytle (169.5) vs. Jason Gilliam (171)
155 lbs.: Frank Edgar (154.5) vs. Mark Bocek (154.5)

taht Nate/Silva showdown looked fantastic, Nate had that fire in his eyes that he was going to destroy Anderson, lets pray so for my MMAplayground sake.
If anyone finds out what Tito was saying to Rashad, let a guy know.
GSP GSP GSP!!!
Silva looks weak only climbing stairs…hope for him his knees are good enough to sustain Marquardt wrestling abilities
Marquardt came in lean and at 182.5. I think he’s as ready as he ever has been. He’s going to need it tomorrow. Can’t wait.
Let the PUNISHMENT / Rashad Evan’s downward spiral begin… Tito via TKO (Rd. 2)!
vote CHUCK LIDDELL

yeah dude i’v got money on Tito and daddy needs to pay his insurance lol.
Tito looked huge compared to Rashad. I think Tito will out muscle Rashad and beat him pretty convincingly.
I love watching weigh ins and re accessing my thoughts on the fights.
Marquardt/Silva will be an absolute war. Intense Stare Down

Does Nate always come in that much under 185? I have never seen his past weigh-ins.
TITO TITO TITO TITO TITO TITO TITO TITO TITO!

I thought the same thing! He seemed to have a slight limp going up those stairs, hope his knees are fully recovered.

He was 185.5 in January against Lister. Rather big difference.
Did you see Rashad at the press conference,what a dick,I realy hope Tito kicks his head in,or “totaly kicks his ass dude,lets go surfing cowabunga!” as every American likes to say LOL
At least this opponent of Silva made weight!
Tito is still one of the best fighters in the world. Rashad will now get a taste of what it’s like to fight the top guys.
Tito wins by TKO via ground and pound in the 3rd.

I finally found that one. What are your thoughts on the weight difference? I am a little concerned about it.

Cutting weight take a big amount of effort so either Nate acme in at great shape and doesn’t need to put energy into the cut or he just over did it. From what i’v heard he came in looking the best he’s ever been so he’ll be fighting in at his peak performace.

Anderson silva will submit nate!
Dana has to give Tito some credit as all the hype is about the Ortiz/Evans fight and not about any of the title fights……..we all know that Evans does not sell a fight on his own but Tito sure does.
Tito will eat “Sugar”
Herring and Nog are some FAT bitches….
Herring is 259?! HOLY SHIT! Must be letting himself go.

hes gonna lose to evans
Do those guys completely strip down for the weigh in? Do the ladies in the background get to see Mr Johnson as well?
Does Rachelle Leah get a gander at Hugh G. Recshun?
Oscar Meyer and the dumplings?
Frank and the meatballs?
