Noteworthy Occurances

Nick Diaz looked a weight class above Koji Oishi. Charles ‘Chainsaw’ McCarthy came in heavy on his debut in the octagon, but was allowed the pound by the NJACB (New Jersey Athletic Control board). Evan Tanner weighed in a pound over, but was given the nod by the NJACB. After a long break away from this weight class, the shorter Matt ‘The Terra’ Serra weighed in at 170 lbs, which made him heavier than Karo ‘The Heat’ Parisyan. Justin Eilers squared up to Andrei ‘The Pitbull’ Arlovski in their stare down showing no fear, while Arlovski appeared to be unimpressed.
