UFC 128 Fight Card: Exclusive B/R Photos for the Fighter Weigh-Ins in New Jersey
BleacherReport was on hand at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey today as the UFC fighters took to the scales in the official weigh-ins for UFC 128 tomorrow.
All of the fighters made weight.
The crowd showed their support for (semi-)local favorites Jim and Dan Miller, Kurt Pellegrino, and Ricardo Almeida.
International superstar Mirko Filipovic also received an exuberant welcome.
The raucous was truly reserved for the main event, however, as Jon Jones and Mauricio Rua are set to clash in the event's headliner for the Light Heavyweight Championship.
