Weigh-ins took place this afternoon for tomorrow night's UFC on Versus 1 card from the 1ST BANK Center in Broomfield, Colorado. The four heavyweights on the main card all came in well under the 265 lb. limit, and the rest of the fighters on the card all made weight as well. The only hiccup came with the scale on Brendan Schaub's weigh-in, as he was announced at 264 lbs. even though it looked as if the scale was much lower. Full weigh-in results are below:
Main Televised Card
-Jon Jones (206) vs. Brandon Vera (204)
-Junior Dos Santos (238) vs. Gabriel Gonzaga (255)
-Paul Buentello (246) vs. Cheick Kongo (237)
-James Irvin (185) vs. Alessio Sakara (185)
Preliminary Card
-Shannon Gugerty (155) vs. Clay Guida (155)
-Eliot Marshall (204) vs. Vladimir Matyushenko (205)

-Chase Gormley (265) vs. Brendan Schaub (245)*
-Julio Paulino (170) vs. Mike Pierce (170)

*Schaub was announced at 264 but there appeared to be an error with the scale and he was likely considerably less. Commission officials later confirmed his weight to be 245.
