UFC 129 Weigh-In Results: All but one make weight
The weigh-ins for UFC 129 took place on Friday and all 24 fighters made weight, with the exception of lightweight Ben Henderson.
Henderson weighed in at 156.5 pounds, which is ½ a pound over the limit the athletic commission allows a fighter for a non-title lightweight bout. Henderson will be taking on Mark Bocek on the PPV card Saturday night. If Henderson is unable to make weight after two hours from when he originally weighed in, he must surrender a percentage of his purse to the athletic commission and Bocek. Henderson, a former WEC champion, is making his UFC debut against Bocek.
In the main event, both Georges St. Pierre (169.5) and Jake Shields (169) came in under the 170-pound limit for their welterweight championship bout. GSP received a big ovation from the Toronto crowd while Shields tried to milk up the bad guy role.
Same can be said for the co-main event as Jose Aldo (145) was the villain to local Mark Hominick (145) as both hit their weigh-in marks for their featherweight championship contest.
