REPLAY UFC Manila: Edgar vs. Faber weigh-ins
All but one fighter made weight on their first attempt Friday morning in Manila. Bantamweight Royston Wee weighed in at 137 pounds - one pound more than the limit - and was given one additional hour to shed the pound.
Other than that, the drama on the scales and stage was kept to a minimum. Headliners Frankie Edgar and Urijah Faber got good pops from the crowd, with "The California Kid" receiving an extra one when he drank the water from a fresh, whole coconut on stage after making weight.
What can we say? The guy knows how to enjoy island living, even during fight week.
