Who knows what kind of wacky scales they use in Memphis, but Natasha Wicks isn’t complaining because the end result was six different fighters stripping down to their birthday suits just to make weight. Diego Sanchez initially weighed in at 156, which would have been just fine if he weren’t fighting for the 155-pound title. So he did what several others who came before him did and took off his skivvies to make weight. When he did, he clocked in at 154.5 pounds. As Tennessee State Athletic Commission executive director/master of basic reasoning skills Tim Mullen explained: "Every fighter that was taking his shorts off was losing about 1.5 pounds, that must be what those things weigh."
With the help of a little nudity every fighter made the agreed upon weight, although the Alan Belcher-Wilson Gouveia bout was changed to a catchweight of 195 pounds before the weigh-in. Full results are after the jump.
