Here's the video of yesterday's weigh-in for tonight's EliteXC main event, Kimbo Slice vs. James Thompson:
Slice and Thompson both looked fit and ready to fight (unlike Gina Carano), and that in and of itself means that Slice will probably get a tougher fight from Thompson than he did in any of his previous bouts.
But I must say, I'm underwhelmed by the crowd at the weigh-in. UFC weigh-ins are raucous parties with thousands of fans; the EliteXC weigh-in sounded like it had dozens of fans. That won't mean anything if tonight's CBS show gets 10 million viewers, but it's not a good sign.
