UFC 108: "Evans vs. Silva" is officially set to go down as all but one of the 20 participants competing in tomorrow night's event made weight earlier today from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, as broadcast live via FiveKnuckles.com.
UFC 108 takes place tomorrow, on Jan. 2, and the event's main card will be televised on pay-per-view beginning at 10 p.m. EST.
In addition, the Spike TV broadcast of two select UFC 108 preliminary card bouts, which features a welterweight bout between Martin Kampmann and Jacob Volkmann as well as a lightweight bout between Dan Lauzon and Cole Miller, begins an hour prior to the PPV start time at 9 p.m. EST.
The event is headlined by a light-heavyweight bout between former UFC light-heavyweight champion Rashad Evans and contender Thiago Silva. Both men had no problem making weight, as each tipped the scales at 205 pounds.
In the co-main event, British striker Paul Daley will take on submission wizard Dustin Hazelett in a featured welterweight bout. Hazelett came in well under the 171-lbs. welterweight limit, as he weighed in at 168 lbs. However, Daley weighed in one pound over the welterweight limit, at 172 pounds, and was initially reported to have been given an extra hour to cut the excess pound. However, according to MMAWeekly, Daley "appeared wobbly" during his examination with the Nevada State Athletic Commission and therefore was not granted the additional weight cut. The fight will now be contested at a catchweight of 172-lbs. and Daley will be fined 10 percent of his fight purse, which will likely go to Hazelett.
Other bouts on the main card include a lightweight showdown between Joe Lauzon and Sam Stout. Also, heavyweight sluggers Gilbert Yvel and Junior dos Santos will battle it out, and rising lightweight contender Jim Miller will welcome Duane Ludwig back to the UFC in the first bout on the televised main card.
