UFC Fight Night 47 takes place tonight on the FOX Sports network (check your local area listings) and also on the BT Sport platform in the UK at 1am.
Tonight is the time for Matt Brown and Robbie Lawler to go head to head, to battle it out to see who will become the next person to face Johny Hendricks for the Welterweight Title.
Last night or early hours this morning here in the UK it was the all important weigh-ins, but Matt Brown found himself in somewhat of an unusual situation!
UFConFOX12 is at San Jose in California, not only did Brown come in over the scales at 1.5lbs also Juliana Lima, who is a new addition to the new female Strawweight division came in over the scales 2 lbs [1.5lbs officially after two hours]. The California State Athletic Commission, for reasons unknown would not let Brown cut anymore weight [according to reports by www.mmajunkie.com].
No penalty was handed out to either fighter for the weigh-in ‘issue’ and therefore still remain eligible for the UFC’s post-fight bonus awards.
For me though it was Bobby Green that stole the weigh-in limelight, the ever professional was all respect for oponnent Josh Thomson [see photos] before switching it on for the close up ‘Face Off’ picture.
On the other hand, I could not make out Joanna Jedrzejczyk, but Dana White did have to step in a few times on a few other ‘Face Offs’ though!
On that note, here is the whole of the card and how all of the twenty-four athletes weighed in individually.

Tonight, at the O2 in Dublin, the UFC returns for the first time in five years, for which we will get to see season 14 winner of TUF, Diego Brandao take on home town fellow Irish man ‘notorious’ Conor McGregor in an epic battle of the Featherweights.
If you missed the highly entertaining, all important weigh-ins you are in luck, you can catch them all here; with the McGregor weigh-in, topping the scales [no pun intended, watch for yourselves] closely followed by Norman Parke, all hyped up and in Naoyuki Kotani’s face, Dana White definitely had his work cut out yesterday.
The fight that is going under the radar on this card I feel, although if you have been following Twitter, you would not have missed any ‘war of the words’ from either side is the Brad Picket v Ian McCall fight, although I’m pleased to say they both behaved themselves when it came to the actual weigh-ins.
Here are the official results with pictures and video clips :
Diego Brandao 145.5 lbs vs. Conor McGregor 146 lbs
