Filed under: Featured , Featured Videos , News , UFC , Videos KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The official weigh-ins are complete for the UFC’s debut in Missouri – and this week, the most drama seemed to be how long Roy Nelson would wait on the scale for photos. A week ago at UFC 210 in Buffalo, N.Y., the official early weigh-ins featured controversy when light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier dropped 1.2 pounds in two minutes for his fight against Anthony Johnson, as well as Pearl Gonzalez’s on-off-back-on fight with Cynthia Calvillo that was in jeopardy due to Gonzalez’s breast implants . But today, all 26 fighters for UFC on FOX 24 made weight for Saturday’s card without issue . When heavyweight Nelson came in at 262 pounds as one of the final three fighters to step on the scale, his personal five-second count for how long he needed to stay on the scale for the cameras was a lot quicker than the five seconds UFC event staff was hoping for. And that’s pretty much where the drama ended – a welcome change of pace from the last-second scrambling of a week ago
