While the actual weigh-ins occurred ealier in the day, the fighters showed up and gave the people what they wanted to see.
The atmosphere was electric as numerous booths for merchandise, beverages and contests were in front of this big stage that was built for this specific event. It was a sea of people from all ages and they were taking in the music from the Mariachi and the aura of it all.
