All 24 fighters from UFC 127 took the scales yesterday in Australia for the weigh-ins for the event tonight on pay-per-view. All the fighters made weight with the exception of Denis Siver who had to re-weigh-in later, and on his second attempt he made the weight.

BJ Penn and John Fitch had a pretty mild stare down after making weight, and both were excited to fight. Jon Fitch told UFC announcer Joe Rogan “I’m pumped to be fighting B.J. Penn. He’s a legend, and I respect him, but I’ve got to beat him. He has what I want.” As usual, BJ didn’t have much to say to Rogan, he just said “I’ll do my talking in the ring tomorrow.”

In the ‘not shocking at all’ category, Michael Bisping and Jorge Rivera continued their trash talking after getting off the scale. You can see the altercation on UFC Dana White’s video blog for the event, but it was just some pushing and shoving while Bisping hurled homophobic slurs at Rivera. White was forced to step in between the two.
