Strikeforce: Fedor vs. Werdum Weigh-ins results
The biggest weigh-ins for Strikeforce was held today inside the HP Pavilion in San Jose, California. The arena was electric and there had to be a couple of hundred fans in the house waiting to see their favorite fighters. Several of the fighters train in the San Jose area like Cung Le and Josh Thomson and they got some big time cheers. Throw in the top men’s and women’s MMA fighters in Fedor and Cyborg Santos and you can see why the fans turned out.
Only one fighter didn’t make weight and that was Derrick Burnsed and he was given 2 hours to make the 155 lbs. limit.
Most notable thing during the weigh-ins was Josh Thomsontripping while walking up the stage steps and seeing the Strikeforce and Showtime people get scared was pretty funny. Staying with Thomson, its very cool to see a fighter having so much fun and just enjoying what he is doing. More fighters should take a page from Thomson and lighten up some and have some darn fun!
