In a unique outdoor setting, weigh-ins took place today for tomorrow's UFC 131 event in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The festivities were held at the Jack Poole Plaza, while tomorrow's fight card takes place from the nearby Rogers Arena. All fighters made weight for the event, including Kenny Florian, who dropped weight for the third time and will fight in his fourth weight class in the UFC, the first fighter ever to do so. He came in sporting a Boston Bruins jerset before weighing in at 146 lbs. for his featherweight bout with Diego Nunes, who then donned a Vancouver Canucks jersey for their stare down.
