Last night at the Sears Center in Chicago, the fighters for tonight’s Strikeforce “Fedor vs Rogers” stepped up to the scale for final weigh-ins and all the fighters for the main card made the cut.  The heavyweight bouts make for some interesting imagery if nothing else, as the weight differences were as humongous as the fighters.  Fedor is giving up 32 pounds to Rogers and Werdum is giving up 21 pounds to Silva.  Ironically, the lighter competition is favored to win against their monsterous competition.

The full weigh-in results included:  

MAIN CARD

• 265: Fedor Emelianenko (232) vs. Brett Rogers (264)
• 185: Jason “Mayhem” Miller (184) vs. Jake Shields (184.5)
• 205: Gegard Mousasi (205) vs. Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou (204)
• 265: Antonio Silva (263) vs. Fabricio Werdum (242)
