Mauricio Aruba had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.3lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. bj Penn has the eye of the tiger tonight.

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Cyborg Silva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Joey Japan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Silva might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Sandstorm. Joey Japan struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 187.9lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. Cyborg Silva had a look across the cage there at his opponent. He definitely means business
