UFC 75: Champion vs. Champion Weigh-in Results
The weigh-ins for tomorrow's UFC 75 show took place this afternoon at the o2 Arena in London. A crowd of around 800-1000 people travelled to South East London to see the fighters weigh-in, as the UFC prepare for it's first show in London in just over five years.
The crowd's slowly built up inside the former Millennium Dome and as the time appraoched 4pm, the promos videos started to play on the big screen above the platform. Then just gone 4pm, Joe Rogan appeared on stage and the fighters weighed-in one-by-one in fight order.
Highlights of the aternoon saw "Rampage" Jackson strip down to a pair of bright orange pants which got a few laughs from the crowd. Although the crowd was muted for some of the undercard fighters both "Cro Cop", Bisping and Jackson got a big reaction from the London Crowd. Whilst Mark Hamil recieved some jeers as he walked up to the scales and faced an intense showdown with the British favourite Michael Bisping before they both walked off the stage.
As the weigh-ins ended there was definitely a buzz amongst the fans who also had Joe Rogan preaching to the converted, as he sold the fights to the fans in his own unique style.
With everyone weighed-in safety all bodes well for what should be a very interesting show as the UFC returns to London tomorrow night.
