The official weigh-in event for Strikeforce: “Fedor vs. Rogers” took place today (November 6) live from the Sears Centre in Hoffman Estates, Illinois.
As usual, MMAmania.com was on the scene to get the scoop on all the happenings and aside from Dustin Neace, there was very little in the way of fireworks between any of the competitors, who all hit their respective marks without incident.
Neace weighed in at 150.5 on his first attempt, 150 on his immediate second attempt and 149.6 on his final attempt after an hour of trying to squeeze out those last few pounds.
In spite of his inability to hit his 145-pound mark, opponent Jeff Curran has agreed to a catchweight fight at 149.6 pounds. Neace will be forced to cough up 20-percent of his fight purse to “The Big Frog.”
