UFC 111: "St. Pierre vs. Hardy" is officially set to go down as all but one (Rory Markham) of the 20 participants competing on tomorrow night's event successfully made weight earlier today at the Prudential Center in Newark, NJ.

UFC 111 takes place tomorrow, on March 27, and the event's main card will be televised on pay-per-view beginning at 10 p.m. EST.

In addition, the Spike TV broadcast of two select UFC 111 preliminary card bouts, which features a welterweight bout between Matt Brown and Ricardo Almeida as well as a 177-lbs. catchweight bout between Nate Diaz and Rory Markham, begins an hour prior to the PPV start time at 9 p.m. EST.

The event is headlined by a UFC welterweight title bout between current champion Georges St. Pierre and challenger Dan Hardy. Both fighters came in exactly at the 170-pounds mark.

In the co-main event, Frank Mir and Shane Carwin will battle it out in a UFC interim heavyweight title fight, with the winner facing UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar in July barring any serious injures. Carwin looked surprisingly soft as he came in at 265 lbs., and Mir also weighed in at 265 lbs.

Other bouts on the main card include a lightweight showdown between Fabricio Camoes and Kurt Pellegrino. Also, former UFC welterweight title contender Jon Fitch will face Ben Saunders, who was originally scheduled to meet Jake Ellenberger at UFC 111, but pulled out of that fight to replace Thiago Alves against Fitch. Also, rising lightweight contender Jim Miller will meet submission wizard Mark Bocek in the first bout on the televised main card.

The only blemish during today's weigh-in festivities occurred when Rory Markham weighed in at 177 lbs., which is six pounds over the 171-lbs. welterweight limit for his bout against TUF 5 winner Nate Diaz.

Markham reportedly knew prior to the weigh-in that he was not going to be able to make weight, so therefore him and Diaz agreed to a catchweight of 177-lbs. before the weigh-in ceremony. Markham has been fined $1,000 by the New Jersey State Athletic Control Board (12.5% of a fighter's purse for missing weight), which will be given to Diaz after the fight.

Below are the official weigh-in results for UFC 111:

Televised Main Card:

Shane Carwin (265) vs. Frank Mir (265)

Jon Fitch (171) vs. Ben Saunders (169)

Mark Bocek (154) vs. Jim Miller (155)
