Posted on October 4, 2012, 06:30 PM by Anton GurevichUFC on FX 5 combatants stepped on the scale at Target Center in Minneapolis, California, as part of the official weigh-in procedure ahead of tomorrow's fight card.
Main eventers Travis "Hapa" Browne and Antonio "Bigfoot" Silva engaged in a heated staredown, promising an all-out war in their long-anticipated encounter. WEC veteran Bart Palaszewski missed weight by 1lbs, but was then cleared for his fight with Diego Nunes.
Scheduled fight between Dennis Hallman and Thiago Tavares will not take place, after Hallman missed weight by 7lbs. Tavares gave Hallman a permission to come 3lbs over, but the 51-14 veteran failed in his attempt to make the fight official.

LMAO settle down bigfoot. You are going to get KO'd.
or TB will gas and get pounded...depends how stupidly bigfoot fights in the first
Bigfoots head is almost twice the size of Browne.
Our tale of the tape!
Antonio Silva will have a 7 inch head advantage.
Wow Ellenberger looked sucked out... hope he didn't have a bad weight cut because if so it might affect his questionable cardio even more.
Also Hallman missing weight AGAIN? What a joke.
He claims he isn't fighting due to personal reasons but he still showed up well overweight, for the second time in a row.
True dat, KFC.
I'm getting tired of Bigfoot's attempt to intimidate his opponents during every one of his staredowns. Given the beatings that he has taken lately, you would think that he would have settled down a bit. Settled perhaps even to the point of having some respect for his opponents and just a tiny bit of humility that even a huge bone frame like his can get KOed. He is not the monster he thinks he is.
Good points. I guess beating Fedor does that to you, although Werdum is still a nice cool dude.
The only intimidated person was the women near the scale, anyone noticed how she got scared when bigfoot moved.
She jumped back totally frightened. So weird, what is she doing there?
Travis Browne. All day.
If headbutting still allowed, Bigfoot G.O.A.T.
And Tito in a close second
50 € on Johnson, Ellenberger and Browne
Looking forward to Jay Hierons debut, he's a great fighter when Ben Askren isn't humping him.
Browne will KO Bigfoot, his chin is suspect. Mike Kyle nearly K'Od him! A LHW
Also Nunes vs Palaszewski? siiiiiiick!
you do know jay hierons debut was actually many years ago in the ufc against GSP, and i know it was many years ago but he also beat ellenberger by decision before as well.
I'm intimidated looking at Bigfoots head!!
BigFoot's head is like Sputnik.
Bigfoot's head is so big that when I shocked that he can fit in the room.
Bigfoot's head is so big that Tito Ortiz say "JEEZZ That's a big head"
Bigfoot's head is so big that even Bones ego can't fill it up..
Please add more bigfoot's head jokes..
The only thing scary about Bigfoot is that tattoo on his back. Great stare down though.
Diego Nunes on the prelims? Seems like not to long ago he was on top of his division.
Browne looked in very good shape!
Out of 28 fighters 13 are over. Not by much but it is a bad state of affairs so many can't make the weight.
They should make weigh-ins the day of the fight. Stop with all these ridiculous cuts.
