Hot at the weigh-in: Anderson hit Sonnen in the head


Official weigh-in of athletes who participate at UFC 148 is held, and that tonight will pierce between Anderson and Chael proves Anderson's shoulder blow to the Chael's head.

Almost ten thousand people watched the live weigh-in, and judging by their mood, it appears that Chael will have far greater support from the fans during the fight.

Current middleweight challenger Chael Sonnen in the open training session appeared to be over 205 pounds and had about 24 hours to drop 20 pounds. Many were worried whether it will succeed, but as one of his coaches said that there is no reason to worry, Sonnen came to weigh-ins with the 185 pounds.

The current champion Anderson was a little lighter, he had 184 pounds.

During the staredown there was some pushing, which eventually resulted in unsportsmanlike act after Anderson's shoulder hit the head of Chael, so president Dana White and the security guards had to intervene. The Anderson's move, in the audience hall, was accompanied by severe and whistles of disapproval.

Tito Ortiz had his last official weigh-in tonight and he appeared in a T-shirt with large lettering 'thanks UFC for everything'. Ortiz, like his opponent Forrest Griffin had 204 pouns.
