10 Struggling MMA Fighters That Will Bounce Back

“Fight For The Troops” Weigh-In Results


(Simpler times.)

The fighters weighed in for tomorrow night’s “Fight For The Troops” event (I’m really starting to wish there was a good abbreviation for that) this afternoon, and it was so close to being flawless until Luigi Fioravanti and Brodie Farber both came in over the limit for their welterweight bout.  Farber was 174 and Fioravanti was 173.5, so they’ll fight at a catch weight of 173.  Real nice, fellas.

The important thing is that headliners Josh Koscheck and Yoshiyuki Yoshida both made weight — barely — for their fight.  I hope Yoshida is ready to struggle through a good "U.S.A.!" chant.  Pro wrestling has led me to believe that it really demoralizes foreign fighters, and can sometimes even help an American get out of a sleeper hold. 

The full results from today’s weigh-in, courtesy of UFC.com, are after the jump.  Be sure to keep it locked in on the Potato tomorrow night beginning at 9 pm EST, because we’ll be liveblogging the shit out of this thing.  And if you aren’t here to make clever quips in the comments section, who will?  Not Jon Lovitz.  Man, is he ever pissed at us.

Josh Koscheck (171) vs. Yoshiyuki Yoshida (171)
Jonathan Goulet (171) vs. Mike Swick (171)
Razak Al-Hassan (205) vs. Steve Cantwell (206)
Matt Wiman (156) vs. Jim Miller (156)
Brodie Farber (174) vs. Luigi Fioravanti (173.5)
Johnny Rees (169) vs. Steve Bruno (171)
Brandon Wolff (170) vs. Ben Saunders (170)
Nate Loughran (185) vs. Tim Credeur (186)
Dale Hartt (156) vs. Corey Hill (155)
Justin McCully (228) vs. Eddie Sanchez (246)

Hard to imagine Luigi being more fat that how fat he was in the Diego fight. Hey Fatty McFatfart, lay off the pasta patata.

I don't think Koschek is even loved by his mom. It's hard to like that asshole.

You know I read that and all I could think was "awww man , I spelt Silva's name wrong".

I wasn't complaining and by the way I love watching Koscheck. I was just pointing out why the card may appear to be weak. And c'mon now, if you're going to give the troops something to watch then give them something to watch. Instead they get Mike Swick and who the hell wants to watch him?

"pregnant doggies". Now that's priceless. You know how to bring the funny Jonny5.

Ok free card for the troops to watch live. Free for all the rest of us to watch on spike. Koscheck love him or hate him(I don't really like him) is one of the worlds top 5 fighters in the world at WW. Yet you pregnant doggies still complain and even bring up Joe silvas name? Priceless.

Who give a bolivian butt-fuck what jon lovitz thinks of cagepotato or MMA? It's like asking movie stars what they think of politics...who gives a rats ass! They deal in fantasy, not in reality even their so-called private lives are fantasy.
Look, if you can pretend to lick the bologna'-pony......then I do NOT want to hear your fucked up opnion on real men sports, OR politics, just go back to broke back hollywood,and shut up you spoiled rich cock-smoker!

On Top of all that....what has that dwarven ugly bastard done worth watching in a decade? feh!!

The card looks kinda weak but I'm not going to blame Joe Silver for it. The UFC is running three show's in three week's, one or more of the card's was bound to suffer because of this. Blame whoever had the bright idea to run all these show's so close together.

It's like they went to Joe Silver and said "right, we're running this many show's in this amount of time and the card's need filling. Work your magic matchmaker man!"

Of course if it turns out that Joe himself arranged the show's then he's an idiot who made his own life harder. So screw him.

Justin McCully is the worst fighter I've ever seen in the UFC, followed by a close second Eddie Sanchez. Wow joe Silva realy earned his keep with this card that man deserves a bonus.

Eddie Sanchez looks like Koscheck and Yoshida fucked, and Koscheck gave birth to a 1/4 white, 1/4 black 1/2 japanese baby huey... who sucks at fighting.

Does anyone know why Frank Edgar is off this card? His website says he was supposed to fight Matt Wiman but apparently hes not.

Haha, oh man Eddie Sanchez is still around? I remember he came to a submissions tournament on Pendleton once. There was a bunch of douche bags clamoring to get his autograph and shake his hand. I, having much foresight, did not.

Later, Cro Cop chased him around the cage and punched his face in.
