DALLAS, Aug. 31 -- The Radisson Hotel was the scene for Art of War 3 weigh-ins, where Pedro Rizzo (Pictures) and Jeff Monson (Pictures) squared off one day before they meet on pay-per-view at the American Airlines Center.

For the most part the event was standard fare, though there was a bit of tension between Christiano Marcello and his opponent, Hector Munoz.

With inaudible words exchanged during the staredown Munoz shoved Marcello, which prompted a representative from the Texas Boxing and Wrestling Program to step between them and threaten Munoz with suspension.

Munoz, overweight at 157 and 3/4 pounds, was also informed that he had two hours to make 156 pounds per the request of Marcello's camp.

Official Weights:
Pedro Rizzo (Pictures) (241) vs. Jeff Monson (Pictures) (247.5)
Jorge Santiago (Pictures) (184.5) vs. Jeremy Horn (Pictures) (185)
Mario Rinaldi (Pictures) (274.5) vs. Ron Waterman (Pictures) (275.5)
Fabiano Capoani (Pictures) (201.5) vs. Alex Andrade (199.5)
Carlo Prater (Pictures) (171.5) vs. Keith Wisniewski (Pictures) (170.25)
Luis Arthur Cane (204.5) vs. Damien Stelly (204.5)
Christiano Marcello (155) vs. Hector Munoz* (157.75)
Anthony Njokuani (168) vs. Keyon Mike Jackson (169.5)
Franita Gathings (205) vs. Lana Stefanac (244.5)
