The weigh-in’s for tomorrow night’s UFC 117: Silva vs. Sonnen event took place this afternoon in Oakland, California, with everyone but a certain Brazilian making the limit at the first time of asking.
Former UFC welterweight title contender, Thiago Alves came in at 171.5 pounds, even when he removed his underwear, and will be forced to lose the additional weight over the next few hours.
The most entertaining stare down was unsurprisingly between UFC middleweight champion, Anderson Silva and his challenger tomorrow night, Chael Sonnen, with the Brazilian refusing to lock eyes with the man from Oregon and instead standing to his side.
Here are the results in full:
Pay-Per-View Bouts
Anderson Silva (184.5) vs. Chael Sonnen (185)
Jon Fitch (170.5) vs. Thiago Alves (171.5)
Clay Guida (156) vs. Rafael dos Anjos (156)
Matt Hughes (170.5) vs. Ricardo Almeida (170.5)
Junior dos Santos (240) vs. Roy Nelson (263)

Michael Bisping is having specialist Japanese judo fighters flown in to the Wolfslair Training Camp in Widnes ahead of his make-or-break career contest with Japanese judo master Yoshihiro Akiyama at UFC 120 in London on October 6.
Bisping, who goes into training camp in mid-August after having spent a part of the summer filming episodes of the British soap opera Hollyoaks, will not have Wolfslair team-mate Rampage Jackson around, as he is heading to Big Bear, California, to train for his Autumn contest with Lyoto Machida.
It is understand ‘Rampage’ Jackson, ubiquitous on posters a BA Baracus for the newly-released A Team movie, is to train under Wolfslair management at the venue, famously known for its use before major fights by the likes of Oscar De La Hoya, and Lennox Lewis.
The Ultimate Fighting Championship organisation takes place at the O2 Arena, London, for the fourth time in three years as UFC120 is headlined by three of the best British fighters in the UFC. read more »

Former Strikeforce middleweight champion, Jake Shields has tonight confirmed to MMABay that he’s finally put pen to paper on a multi-fight contract with the UFC after weeks of negotiating.
The fighter also confirmed that he would be dropping down to his more natural fighting weight of 170 pounds after defeating the likes of Dan Henderson and Jason “Mayhem” Miller at middleweight.
As MMABay EXCLUSIVELY reported earlier in the week, the talented grappler will first take on Danish all-rounder, Martin Kampmann in his first fight inside the octagon, a fight that will go down at UFC 121 on October 23rd in Anaheim, California.

MMABay can EXCLUSIVELY reveal that UK middleweight, Michael Bisping will take on Japanese buzzsaw, Yoshihiro Akiyama at UFC 120 on October 16th in London, England.
A source close to the situation revealed the news during a telephone conversation with one of the MMABay team this morning. It was originally thought that Bisping would face former champion, Vitor Belfort but the promotion decided against it in the end.
Bisping was last seen in action in May when he defeated tough-as-nails middleweight, Dan Miller over three rounds at UFC 114. Prior to that he’d lost a close decision to Brazilian legend, Wanderlei Silva in February at UFC 110.
Akiyama is coming off a disappointing third round submission loss to heavy handed veteran, Chris Leben at UFC 116 last weekend. This fight followed one year after making his UFC debut at UFC 100 against Alan Belcher, a fight he won via split decision.
