Damn 2 or 3 fighters didn't make weight including Vitor. He's just a bit over 196.

Vitor will be fine, he could cut that quarter of a pound by spitting in a bucket for half an hour.
I was surprised at Efrain coming in two pounds over, and WTF at griffin v franca being a catchweight? that's just weird. maybe franca is having trouble without the juice.

Efrain is 1 lb over not 2.
I found Vitor a bit soft compared to usual. |

one lb over the commission's limit, but still two pounds over the weightclass. just surprising to me, with his wrestling background, and being so young, i expected him to make the cut pretty easily.
haven't watched them yet, but wow, vitor looks chubby? that can't be a good thing, rich is not someone you take lightly.

Not chubby but I'd say a bit soft. I'll post the pics as soon as they're up.
I'm sure Efrain will be lose the extra 1 lb.
Edit: btw he weighed in at 156 against Nover. http://mmajunkie.com/news/13464/live...r-8-finale.mma
