MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) was on scene and reporting live from today's official UFC 119 fighter weigh-ins, where all 22 event competitors made weight without issue for their respective contests.
Today's festivities took place at Indianapolis' Conseco Fieldhouse, the same venue that hosts Saturday's pay-per-view event.
Heavyweight contenders Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic (227 pounds) and Frank Mir (252 pounds) led the cast of 22 UFC fighters to the scale.
Both main-event fighters looked in peak form as they hit the scale, though neither was willing to engage in much pre-fight banter after making the contest official.
"I feel good," Filipovic told event emcee Joe Rogan. "I'm very excited to be here."
Mir was also respectful in his brief comments to Rogan.
"I still think Mirko is a very dangerous opponent," Mir said. "I'm not taking him lightly by any means."
Hometown fighter and fan favorite Chris Lytle received one of the most vocal receptions of the afternoon, while lightweight sluggers Melvin Guillard and Jeremy Stephens engages in the the most tense staredown of the day. Guillard stormed off the scale and into Stephens' face for a nose-to-nose staredown, though "Li'l Heathen" hardly batted an eye in a brief preview of what many believe may prove to be UFC 119's "Fight of the Night."
