Here is the article if you want to see what everyone weighed in at.

No Weight Worries with Heavyweights at UFC 81

Mir is a big man. He usually comes in around 250, and in his last 4 or 5 he's looked soft and out of shape. Judging by the weigh-in pics, he's in much better condition this time around, and has added some lean mass.

He has always been around 250, I think he was 253 when he won the belt. When he was out of shape he had to cut to make 265 and he looked a whole lot different than now.

He had to cut for Dan Cristianson fight and was probably way over 270, still some people use that fight as an example of Mir having overrated groundgame. It´s quite hard to be athletic and agile when you are out of shape and 20+ pounds overweight.

255 of pure muscle.

Looks to be in good shape. Much better than when he fought Dan Christianson.

Mir is very fit, but that doesn't mean his conditioning will be up to par. I work with a guy who lives in a gym, looks to be chisled from granite and gets out of breath walking up a flight of stairs.

I think Mir knew coming in though what Brocks conditioning would be like. I'd say he worked on it for sure.

Wouldn't that be a bitch if the fight came down to conditioning and we see a gassed out Mir get subbed by Brock with 30 seconds left in the third round.

My nipples just got hard at the thought of that happening tonight!

Can you imagine how ape shit the place would go and what stupid, ignorant thing Goldberg would say after the fight?
