Antonio Nogueira vs. Dorian Grey: A solid Nogueira steps to the scale. He was 246 pounds for the Mir fight; 231 pounds here. Randy Couture, 220 for Brock Lesnar, is the same weight but looks better. He steps down and immediately sips the blood of a baby to replenish.
7:19 p.m. ET: Thiago Silva is 205, Keith Jardine the same. Silva puts on his sunglasses for the staredown.
7:17 p.m. ET: Demian Maia on stage: Royce Gracie 2009. 185 even. Nate Marquardt a seriously muscled 185.
7:16 p.m. ET: Krzysztof Soszynski coming in. Mr. Mxyzptlk weighs in at 205 even. Brandon Vera in the Speedos. 205.
7:14 p.m. ET: Jake Rosholt to the scale. 185 pounds. What distracting hairstyle will Chris Leben adopt tonight? Oh. He's looking normal. 185.
7:12 p.m. ET: Aaron Simpson enters. "Let's go, Herman!" someone yells. The life of a prelim fighter. 185 even. Ed Herman follows. 185.5.
7:11 p.m. ET: Anime-haired Chris Tuchscherer steps on: 258 pounds. Gabriel Gonzaga gets a good reaction. He's got his mouthpiece in. The man is ready for anything. 259 pounds.
7:08 p.m. ET:Police officer Mike Russow gets on the scale with a t-shirt on. That's always a little weird. Maybe he didn't manscape. 260 even. Justin McCully waves to a receptive (i.e. non-booing) crowd. A little imaginary lat syndrome happening. 238.
7:06 p.m. ET: Todd Duffee strolls up the stairs. Barrel-chested fellow. 251 pounds. Tim Hague: 263.5 with gum.
7:04 p.m. ET: Mark Munoz enters. The "Filipino Wrecking Machine" is sort of -- strange, no? Do we call Jardine the "Caucasian Dean of Mean"? Munoz is 185.5. Nick Catone sucking it in a little bit. 185.5.
7:02 p.m. ET: Evan Dunham doffs the shoes, socks, shirts, etc. He's 155 on the nose. Mini Clive Owen, Marcus Aurelio, approaches the stage. They're working the scale hard. 156.
