The stands in the Rogers Centre in Toronto, Canada, were packed for the pre-UFC 129 weight-in. The event itself will take place this Saturday night.
Ben Henderson didn’t make weight for his fight with Mark Bocek; Lyoto Machida made his entrance accompanied by Steven Seagal; to deafening applause, GSP asserted that he will win on Saturday and said, “Don’t blink,” suggesting he expects his fight with Jake Shields to be a short one; Canada’s Claude Patrick, who faces Daniel Roberts in the undercard, unsheathed some Wolverine claws, provoking laughter from UFC president Dana White…
These were a few of the more striking moments from the stellar event put together by the UFC.
