Tito Ortiz and Rashad Evans weighed in for their big clash tomorrow at UFC 133. Evans was the villain for the Philly crowd. The fans in attendance booed lustily when Evans walked to the stage.
"I know they love me," Evans told UFC analyst Joe Rogan. "I know everyone one of them would want my autograph if I walked up into the stands."
A more muscular Evans checked in at 204.4 pounds. Ortiz made the weight at 205. 8, but it did appear to be a rough cut for the 36-year-old. His eyes were sunken and Ortiz sounded a bit hoarse when spoke.
Ivan Menjivar was the only fighter to officially miss weight. At 138 pounds, he missed the bantamweight limit by three pounds. The MMA veteran apologized profusely to his opponent Nick Pace and elected to give up a portion of his purse instead of dropping the additional two pounds.
