UFC 111 weigh-in results
by Jacob Camargo on March 26, 2010

UFC 111: "St. Pierre vs. Hardy" is officially set to go down as all but one (Rory Markham) of the 20 participants competing on tomorrow night's event successfully made weight earlier today at the Prudential Center in Newark, NJ.

UFC 111 takes place tomorrow, on March 27, 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 111 preliminary card bouts, which features a welterweight bout between Matt Brown and Ricardo Almeida as well as a 177-lbs. catchweight bout between Nate Diaz and Rory Markham, begins an hour prior to the PPV start time at 9 p.m. EST.

The event is headlined by a UFC welterweight title bout between current champion Georges St. Pierre and challenger Dan Hardy. Both fighters came in exactly at the 170-pounds mark.

In the co-main event, Frank Mir and Shane Carwin will battle it out in a UFC interim heavyweight title fight, with the winner facing UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar in July barring any serious injures. Carwin looked surprisingly soft as he came in at 265 lbs., and Mir also weighed in at 265 lbs.

Other bouts on the main card include a lightweight showdown between Fabricio Camoes and Kurt Pellegrino. Also, former UFC welterweight title contender Jon Fitch will face Ben Saunders, who was originally scheduled to meet Jake Ellenberger at UFC 111, but pulled out of that fight to replace Thiago Alves against Fitch. Also, rising lightweight contender Jim Miller will meet submission wizard Mark Bocek in the first bout on the televised main card.

The only blemish during today's weigh-in festivities occurred when Rory Markham weighed in at 177 lbs., which is six pounds over the 171-lbs. welterweight limit for his bout against TUF 5 winner Nate Diaz.

Markham reportedly knew prior to the weigh-in that he was not going to be able to make weight, so therefore him and Diaz agreed to a catchweight of 177-lbs. before the weigh-in ceremony. Markham has been fined $1,000 by the New Jersey State Athletic Control Board (12.5% of a fighter's purse for missing weight), which will be given to Diaz after the fight.

 |  (45) Comments D_V: 177, that's not even close Ceelarence: yeah I know. Luckily the decided to make it a catch weight before the weigh in. Still got fined tho, so it doesnt really matter either way GO HARD: war diaz! q>: ) HappyHamer: I've said this "elsewhere" but if markham can't be bothered making weight, give the fight to Jake Ellenberger instead, now that his match with Saunders is off. Kable: Ironic Markam claimed Diaz would have weight issues. thebutterflybee: Was there a problem with Markham as a reason for missing weight? Or was it just real bad planning? If he was just a lunch box about the whole thing then I really hope Diaz smashes him. I was pretty ambivalent before this, but I hate when people don't make weight if they don't have an acceptable reason (injury, etc). EverlastingSpringtime: I know im not the only one who would like to see nate diaz get his face smashed in here, but the weight difference will take away from a win should rory get it. Plus if he has cut to far, that could play into the hands of diaz also. At least the stair down was good, we should see some fireworks, a KO would be great. Ares: What the fuck, Markham? You can't just make up your own weight classes! 177 is nowhere near anything! Also, Hardy's contacts were badass. Kable: Anyone got a pic of his Contacts? Dishonest John: after i saw his "I Hate Dan Hardy" shirt, Hardy has now moved up to being my #2 favorite fighter. that shirt was fucking awsome. The Hitman: mir weighed in at 265. wow. he looked big. he better hope the fight doesnt go past the 1st round or all that weightnew weight could become a factor. whats up with rory at 177? is that a catchweight? nygiant: LOL at Matt's undies! I love how Diaz brings the mental game every time. GO HARD: diaz vs ellinbuger would be a horrible fight. im just saying
