REPLAY UFC 187: Johnson vs. Cormier weigh-ins
We are all set for one of the best cards of 2015, with all UFC 187 fighters having hit the scales earlier Friday afternoon in Las Vegas at the MGM Grand. There was a lot of tension and some physical contact between Justin Scoggins and Josh Sampo as well as between Uriah Hall and Rafael Natal.
On the opposite end of the spectrum, friends and former teammates Andrei Arlovski and Travis Browne shared a hug after staring one another down.
Middleweight champion Chris Weidman was not in a friendly mood when he got his chance to face off against challenger Vitor Belfort. Weidman got into Belfort's face and began the trash talk.
Afterwards, he explained to Joe Rogan what he was worked up about, Speaking of a recently announced pre-fight drug test where Belfort's testosterone levels were quite high, and much higher than the far younger Weidman, the champ said, "This guy is still cheating. I'm going to make him pay for it tomorrow night."
Belfort simply said, "For me, it's a dream . . . [I'm] ready to win tomorrow."
Johnson and Cormier were cordial during their face-off, but when interviewed afterward Cormier said, "The truth is, Anthony Johnson is not good enough to beat me."
Johnson replied, "We'll see what happens."
