UFC Fight Night Seattle Weigh-ins - March 25th, 2011

KeyArena - Seattle, Washington

Review by Spaniard, Photos by Mike Renouard


 

NW MMA fans packed the Key Arena eager to watch their favorite UFC fighters make weight before they throw hands at UFC Fight Night 24. All fighters on the 12 bout card indeed did make weight, including both main event fighters Lil' Nog & Mr. Wonderful. Carlos Condit came by early before weigh-ins for a question and answer session with the fans ,which turned out to be amazingly funny. (See Joe Rogan "No dude, you might be a cop!") The lovely UFC ring girls were of course on hand, smiling and applauding.

 

 Phil "Mr. Wonderful" Davis made weight and looked big, yet Antonio Rogerio Nogueira AKA "Lil Nog" was just as big and came out with a stellar crew looking unmoved by Davis, with brother "Minotauro" Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira and UFC Champion Anderson Silva backing him. 


NW Fan Favorite Mario Miranda from AMC came out rocking the Shawn Kemp #40 Sonic Jersey and had the Seattle fans on their feet as he weighed in to fight Aaron Simpson. Miranda is the hometown UFC fighter and the only one on the card from the NW to have gotten lucky enough to get the chance to fight in front of his hometown fans; a chance Mario doesn't plan on losing.


Anthony "Rumble" Johnson, who was talked about in the Q & A session about being such a monster in cutting from 230 to fight at 170, walks out and makes 171. His opponent, Dan "The Outlaw" Hardy, got an outlaws welcome as he was booed onto the scale. He made weight and an intense stare down came next. This will not be the fight to go get a drink on!


Some say it was the fight of all-time when the fight took place back in 2010, and now these two fighters, "The Korean Zombie" Chan Sung Jung & Leonard Garcia, will rematch in Seattle. Both made weight and are ready to do it again, Garcia weighing in with his version of a zombie. It was all smiles for both, who are set & ready to attempt fight of the night honors again. The Korean Zombie has been changing his training camp staying with Team Alpha Male. We will see how this changes things for him in this rematch.


TUF season 7 winner Amir Sadollah and DeMarques "Darkness" Johnson both made weight and got some laughs as darkness pulls a Ninja Pose. Johnson took the fight on two weeks' notice will be interesting to see how this fight plays out.



Spaniard's Prelim sleeper... John Hathaway vs. Kris McCray. This fight has heaters being thrown all over it! McCray looks the best he has looked at this weight and Hathaway is shredded as well, both are known to throw heavy leather both had good camps, this fight is one to catch at the KeyArena live if you are lucky enough to have tickets, or on the Facebook broadcast. 

 

UFC Fight Night Live in Seattle starts at the KeyArena with the first prelim bout at 2:45 PM local time. The main card shown on Spike TV begins at 7 PM local time.
