* Tyson Griffin weighed in at 149 lbs. for his first attempt. Griffin is being given one hour to lose three pounds.<BR><BR>
** Roy Nelson weighed in officially at 252, but was wearing some sort of fat suit, so his actual weight is technically unknown, I suppose.<BR><BR>
*** During the Diaz-Penn staredown, Diaz ducked his head down, pushed it into Penn's head and the two had a pull-apart, including Diaz somewhat swatting at Penn's face with his hand. Diaz immediately left, not sticking around for the typical post-weigh in interview. Penn remained on stage, but gave a quick one-sentence response in his interview. Intense stuff!<BR><BR>
<B>UPDATE:</B> Tyson Griffin fails to make weight. Bart Palaszewski agrees to 148-pound catch weight bout. Read the full story here: <A HREF="http://www.mmanews.com/news/90016" target="_Blank"><B>Griffin Fails To Make Weight, Palaszewski Agrees To Catch-Weight Bout</B></A><BR><BR>
