UFC weigh-in

Weigh-in results from Target Center:
Jon Fitch (170) vs. Georges St. Pierre (170)
Heath Herring (250) vs. Brock Lesnar (265)
Roger Huerta (155) vs. Kenny Florian (155)
Demian Maia (185) vs. Jason MacDonald (185)
Robert Emerson (155) vs. Manny Gamburyan (155)
Tamdan McCrory (170) vs. Luke Cummo (167)
Dan Evensen (244) vs. Cheick Kongo (235)
Andre Gusmao (205) vs. Jon Jones (205)
Steve Bruno (170) vs. Chris Wilson (170)
Ryan Thomas (170) vs. Ben Saunders (170)

Just before the official weigh-in was to begin, Bruce Buffer escorted Quinton "Rampage" Jackson to the front of the stage, where he interacted with the fans for several minutes. Wanderlei Silva (in the corner of Maia) was also in attendance working the crowd.

Huerta, Lesnar, and St. Pierre received huge pops from the crowd as did Kongo. Florian, Herring, and Fitch got some negative reactions due to their opponents.

Plenty of Canadien fans in attendance to see St. Pierre and MacDonald.

Funniest moment: After McCrory and Cummo weighed in and had their pose off, Joe Rogan called it, "the battle of the nerds."
