UFC 108 official weigh-in results: All 20 fighters cleared to fight (Updated) by MMAjunkie.com

LAS VEGAS – MMAjunkie.com was on scene and reporting live from today's "UFC 108: Silva vs. Evans" official fighter weigh-ins.

The weigh-ins took place at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, which also hosts tomorrow's UFC 108 event and the headliner between top UFC light-heavyweight contenders Rashad Evans and Thiago Silva.

All of the 20 competitors except Paul Daley made weight for the show. The main-card competitor weighed 172 pounds, and according to a UFC spokesperson, Daley will fight opponent Dustin Hazelett at a catch-weight of 172 pounds. Hazelett gets 10 percent of his purse.

According to the UFC, "The Nevada State Athletic Commission will not allow [Daley] to try to cut to 171 pounds."

All things considered, it was a fairly uneventful precursor to the seemingly cursed UFC 108 event. A fight card plagued by injuries had forced more than a dozen fighters out of the UFC 108 lineup in the past few months, and fight fans weren't looking for any more surprises from the UFC's first-of-year event.

The full weigh-in results included:

MAIN CARD

Rashad Evans (205) vs. Thiago Silva (205)
Paul Daley (172)* vs. Dustin Hazelett (168)
Joe Lauzon (155) vs. Sam Stout (155)
Duane Ludwig (156) vs. Jim Miller (155)
Junior Dos Santos (237) vs. Gilbert Yvel (239)
PRELIMINARY CARD (Spike TV)

Martin Kampmann (171) vs. Jacob Volkmann (171)
Dan Lauzon (155) vs. Cole Miller (155)
PRELIMINARY CARD (Un-aired)

Ryan Jensen (186) vs. Mark Munoz (185)
Jake Ellenberger (170) vs. Mike Pyle (171)
Rafaello Oliveira (156) vs. John Gunderson (155)

* - Missed weight, and fight will be held at a catch-weight of 172 pounds; Daley surrenders 10 percent of his purse to Hazelett

What's with WWs missing weight????

[notBJpenn]

Lots of WW's are trying to be WW's when maybe they should be MW's.

[Mr.Gummy]

why didn't the commission allow him to try and cut the 1lb??? sounds fishy

[MetallicKnight3X]

i think its kinda fishy as well.. I thought they gave you an hour or two after the weigh ins to lose the weight.. i know they gave travis lutter a lot of time to cut for Silva... thats kinda messed up.

[IceCold48]

they did the same thing with diego at 107 i think

[sikk]

Hmm so the only penalty is a partial loss of purse? Meaning it will still be a ranked bout? Wonder what went down behind the scenes here.

[Showtime]

I think that he might of been like "You just wanna does this at a catchweight cause I cant lose anymore." Daley probably was given the opportunity to lose the last few pounds and decided against it cause he could do it. Samething that Rumble did. Or he did attempt to lose it and it did not happen. Doesn't seem fishy to me. Just another reason to hate Daley. Hope Dustin takes an arm and then Condit beats him with it.

What is up with all these WW's not making weight? If Daley wants a shot at GSP he's gotta get a lot more serious with himself and the UFC.

If the commission thinks any extra weight cut could be detrimental to the fighters health they won't let them use the normal 2 hours to cut more.

I believe it is a doctors call as said above for health reasons.
