Jim Erickson
The conference room where the weigh-ins were held was standing room only. Trainers, fighters, and spectators were all eager to get this exciting show rolling. Fox Sports North was on hand to cover the beginning of what will culminate tomorrow night at 7:30PM, with FSN coverage beginning at 8:45PM. Jim Erickson went over the rules and some questions were asked about details of what would be acceptable for rapping hands. Matt Vanda looked to be in good spirits as did most of the fighters. Below are some short quotes and weights from tonight’s event.

how did phil look
Those are some insightful comments. How did Williams look at 164?
Phil Williams looked a lot like he did for his las fight in my opinion. It was only 3 or 4 pounds dif. After he weighed he had a big jug of water he was working on. He was in a really good mood. As to the comments, I didnt want to bug those guys, as most were itching to go finaly eat. I just asked them what their final thought was for the fights. But yes, I know thats not a lot of news.
