The UFC 144 weigh-ins took place 11pm ET, and 8pm PT last night. The weigh ins took place at the Saitama Super Arena in Saitama, Japan. The same venue that plays host to tonights UFC 144 event. All fighters made weight, except one. Quinton "Rampage" Jackson. Jackson said in a post fight interview, the reason he came in overweight was because of an injury he sustained in training camp. Jackson declined to say what or where the injury is. He alleges that he is "almost" healed. For Jackson missing weight he forfeits 20% of his purse to his opponent Ryan Bader, who looked impressive at the weigh ins. The obivous questions here are:
1) Is Rampage taking Bader as a serious threat and
2) Is this the fight, where Jackson announces his retirement?
