Watch Highlights From UFC 142 Weigh-Ins
In case you missed weigh-ins yesterday for UFC 142, check out the clips below for the highlights from the main event featuring Jose Aldo vs. Chad Mendes and the co-main event featuring Anthony Johnson vs. Vitor Belfort. Some people commented that Aldo looked particularly drained from his weight cut but you can watch and judge for yourself. You can also witness what went down when Anthony Johnson stepped on the scale weighing in 11 pounds over the acceptable middleweight limit and coming in at 197 pounds. Belfort still agreed to going ahead with the fight with Johnson with the stipulation that Johnson could weigh no more than 205 pounds when he weighed in again before the fight. You'll also notice a somewhat smug-looking Mike Dolce (in the "Dolce Diet" t-shirt) who is almost giddy when Belfort makes weight seemingly quite easily. Since the weigh-in, Johnson has taken to his Facebook page to explain what happened and why he weighed so much over the limit and weigh-ins:
I'm already laughing at what ppl are saying. Yeah it was for medical reason and I did what the UFC Dr Told me to do. Believe it or don't I give a f**k cuz the ppl close to me were freaking out but I'm still alive and something like this has never happen before. Say what you want I'm still gonna do my thang. You try not having feeling in your legs and can't move then and see how you look at life after that
That doesn't sound good at all. But, you can now rest assured that this fight will be happening because Rumble weighed in today at 204.2 pounds, which is under the limit! Nice work!

So by the time the fight happens
Rumble will be like 210lbs plus then. Seems a bit unfair to Vitor.
