Gormley with the barge-boxer's physique. 262 lbs. 6'11" Struve --

7:08 p.m. ET -- Antoni Hardonk vs. Patrick Barry
Barry weighs in with socks on. Bacteria phobe? Hardonk waves to the crowd. 249.5.
7:10 p.m. ET -- Ryan Bader vs. Eric Schafer
Schafer is 205.5. As a redhead, he'll require more anesthesia if the fight necessitates surgery. Just saying. Bader is 205 even.
7:12 p.m. ET -- Gleison Tibau vs. Josh Neer
Tibau adjusts his buzz cut. 157. He has to lose a pound in one hour. Neer's 156.5 won't win him any Mr. Universe contests. He loses his Underoos. Still 156.5. Must be the In and Out. They agree to fight at their respective weights.

7:21 p.m. ET -- Lyoto Machida vs. Mauricio Rua
Rua enters as the underdog for the first time in a long time. 204.5. Machida bribes the crowd with hats, then approaches the scale weaving from left to right. The scale advances but misses. Machida is 202.5. Time to enjoying some refreshing, replenishing pee and kill 28 hours.
