UFC 84 weigh in results for Penn vs Sherk PPV event fights

ufc 84 weigh in

The official weigh-in event for UFC 84: “Ill Will” at the MGM Marquee Ballroom in Las Vegas, Nevada, has concluded. And it certainly had it’s share of memorable moments.

In particular, former light heavyweight champion Tito Ortiz — in more than likely his last appearance for the promotion — is not going out quietly as expected. “The Huntington Beach Bad Boy” donned a t-shirt the read, “Dana is My Bitch,” referring to his nemesis, UFC President Dana White.

It was no coincidence that White was not present at the festivities. Regardless, Ortiz will have one last opportunity to take a dig at White when he takes on Lyoto Machida tomorrow night.

Expect something even more over the top.

Here are the official results:

155 lbs.: B.J. Penn (155) vs. Sean Sherk (155)
205 lbs.: Wanderlei Silva (205) vs. Keith Jardine (205)
205 lbs.: Goran Reljic (205) vs. Wilson Gouveia (205)
205 lbs.: Tito Ortiz (205) vs. Lyoto Machida (203)
205 lbs.: Thiago Silva (205) vs. Antonio Mendes (203)
185 lbs.: Rousimar Palhares (185) vs. Ivan Salaverry (185)
205 lbs.: Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou (204) vs. Kazuhiro Nakamura (206)

Some People Are Going to Fight Each Other?!?

TS
(Thiago Silva has been booked to fight “The Silva Hunter.”)

Believe it!

— Scary undefeated Brazilian light-heavyweight Thiago Silva, who was originally slated to face Rashad Evans at UFC 84 in May, will now battle Antonio Mendes in light of Evans being signed to fight Chuck Liddell at UFC 85. Mendes has put together a record of 14-2 fighting in organizations you’ve never heard of, and will be making his UFC debut. He went 9-0 last year, including three wins at a one-night tournament in June where all three fights went the distance, and another two wins in April on consecutive nights in different promotions. Mendes also holds a career record of 3-0 against other guys named Silva, which could be the defining stat of the matchup.

— Speaking of potentially lopsided matchups, Strikeforce announced last night that Gilbert Melendez will be facing some guy named Gabe Lemley at their March 29th EliteXC/Showtime co-promoted card, with a lightweight championship belt on the line. Melendez is coming off his first career loss, having dropped a decision to Mitsuhiro Ishida at Yarennoka! on New Year’s Eve. Lemley lost four of his first five fights before turning his career around, and now sports a still-shitty 11-6 record. And he’s fighting for a belt. And we think that’s just super.
