UFC 117 weigh in results LIVE from Oakland for 'Silva vs Sonnen'

The official weigh-in event for UFC 117: "Silva vs. Sonnen" went down earlier today (Aug. 6) from the Oracle Arena in Oakland, California.
Note to Thiago Alves: Just because you press a red button from Staples doesn't automatically make something "easy." Straight from the files of "Open mouth and insert foot," the Brazilian welterweight went on record this afternoon to call the UFC 117 weight cut "the easiest" of his career.
Then he failed to get below 171.5 pounds.
"Pitbull" was fined 20-percent of his purse (which goes directly to opponent Jon Fitch), and aside from his issues atop the scale, all other fighters booked for tomorrow night's festivities, including main event participants Anderson Silva and Chael Sonnen, made weight without incident.
