Weigh-ins for tonight's UFC 81 PPV featuring the debut of Brock Lesnar took place yesterday (more can be read at this link). It should be noted that The Wrestling Observer is reporting Lesnar's hands are the largest for any combat sports athlete in history of the state of Nevada. He required 4XL gloves and even those were slightly small for him. The only other fighter to ever wear 4XL gloves was South Korean fighter Choi Hong-man, who is 7'3 and 367 pounds.

In addition to members of TNA showing up at the UFC 81 PPV tonight, PWInsider is reporting that members from WWE are also expected to be at the show as well.

Don't forget, WrestleView.com will be providing up-to-the-minute coverage of Brock Lesnar's UFC debut tonight. The UFC PPV will begin at 9:00 p.m. Eastern, with Lesnar/Mir likely being the second to last fight on the card as it is being billed as the co-main event to Tim Sylvia vs. Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira for the interim UFC Heavyweight Title.
