* – There was a little scuffle after the Liddell-Silva weigh-ins. Silva weighed in first with his t-shirt still on. Liddell weighed in next in just his shorts. As the two went to staredown, Liddell first put his shirt back on, to promote a sponsor. As Liddell walked up to a waiting Silva, Silva took his shirt off and got directly in his face. Things got ugly when he did a little head jester (think Tito Ortiz screwing around with Ken Shamrock on the Ultimate Fighter reality show mixed with seriousness) towards Liddell. This prompted Liddell to flip off Silva as he turned around to leave. Silva tried to follow him, walking with a purpose, but was haulted before anything stupid happened at the last second (almost literally) to again screw up the most anticipated fight in MMA's short history. Thankfully, all went well and it just added to the excitement of tonight's mega fight.
