Our coverage of the UFC 102 weigh-ins is LIVE at 7 PM EST, 6 Central. Hit F5 or refresh on the full post as often as you like for updates!

Welcome to the UFC 102 weigh-ins! Mike Goldberg says we're at the Rose Garden in Portland - I'll assume he's correct. Bud Light, Harley Davidson, Tapout and the movie "Gamer" are the sponsors. We're joined as always by Joe Rogan and the entire weigh-in cast from Dana White to Joe Silva to the "professional hot chicks" like Arianny, Natasha and Logan. Let's get our first fight weight and get this thing started!

* Evan Dunham v. Marcus 'Maximus' Aurelio (Lightweight Bout)

Dunham is first up to the scale. He checks in at a very gaunt and ripped 155 even. UFC veteran Marcus Aurelio is up next. Aurelio looks equally skinny but much more tan as he steps on the scale and weighs in at a carefully calculated 156 - good enough to make the bout. The two pose for a pre-fight photo and Dunham has the angrier look of the two.

* Nick Catone v. Mark 'The Wrecking Machine' Munoz (Middleweight Bout)

Munoz at 5-1 is up first. Rogan corrects his earlier announcement and calls him The Filipino Wrecking Machine. TFWM weighs in at 185.5 and Catone makes his way to the scale. The balding Catone also weighs 185.5 and the bout is on! He shakes hands with Dana White and the two pose for a photo. "That's a hell of a fight ladies and gentlemen!" If you say so Joe.

* Todd Duffee v. Tim Hague (Heavyweight Bout)

Duffee is up first and is making his UFC debut at 102. Duffee is a very muscular and big 251. Next is Tim Hague dipped out in light blue Warrior Wear from head to toe. Hague steps on the scale looking more hairy than Prince Albert, coming in at a very large 263.5, even though he appears an inch shorter in the posedown.

* Justin McCully v. Mike Russow (Heavyweight Bout)

Russow at 11-1 with 1 NC is up first. He leaves on the Tapout shirt as he takes to the scale and weighs in at precisely 260. Rogan dubs the 9-4-2 McCully 'The Insane One.' He takes off everything but the trunks, poses for the crowd to a nice pop from the Portland audience, then steps on the scale to weigh in at 238. It's pretty clear that he's in better shape of the two as they pose.

* Gabriel Gonzaga v. Chris Tuchscherer (Heavyweight Bout)

Three straight heavyweight fights on the prelims! Chris keeps his Death Clutch gear (a favorite of Brock Lesnar) on as he steps on the scale to weigh in at 258. The people running the scales are taking their sweet time making everything precise. 'Napao' Gonzaga gets a nice pop as he makes his way up. He points to the crowd and gets another pop, then takes off his shoes and his Tokyo Five shirt. 259 for Napao! "He's already got his mouthpiece in, he's ready to go!" Napao leans in for the photo before we move on.

* Aaron Simpson v. Ed 'Short Fuse' Herman (Middleweight Bout)

Simpson is up first. He easily makes 185 even and looks to be in good shape. Herman gets one of the biggest pops of the night so far as he makes his way up to the stage, peeling off two layers of shirts to reveal one that says 5-0-3. The abbed-out Herman comes in at 185.5 and poses for the photos.

* Chris 'The Crippler' Leben v. Jake Rosholt (Middleweight Bout)

The 5-1 Rosholt is up first, and this is our first bout on the main PPV card. He makes 185 "on the nose" as Joe Rogan says. Leben one-ups the pops when he makes his way to the stage, all smiles for the love he's getting in Portland. he immediately makes 185 and steps off the scales, tattoos and all, to crouch down with his right fist up ready to swing for a photo.

* Brandon 'The Truth' Vera v. Krzysztof 'The Polish Experiment' Soszynski (Light Heavyweight Bout)

Let the battle of nicknames begin! Sos is up first. He hits 205 even. Vera wastes no time getting up to the scale and strips all the way down to bikini briefs. He makes 205, shakes Dana White's hand, and the two strike a pose. "That's a serious light heavyweight bout folks!"

* Nate 'The Great' Marquardt v. Demian Maia (Middleweight Bout)

11-0 Maia is first up to the scale. Rogan calls him "one of the greatest jiu-jitsu artists in the game" and he may be right. He makes a very lean looking 185 even. Marquardt at 31-8-2 gets a good pop on his way up to the scale. Nate the Great also makes 185 and the two pose for some nose to nose photos, causing Dana to push them apart a little.

* Keith 'The Dean of Mean' Jardine v. Thiago Silva (Light Heavyweight Bout)

Silva is up first at 13-1. Silva gets down to his trunks and makes 205. Jardine and his oddly charismatic goatee are up next to a very nice pop from the crowd. "Ladies and gentlemen, the Dean of Mean!" He too checks in at 205 and then steps over for a handshake from Silva. Jardine smirks at him and Silva keeps his shades on during the photos.

"Now let us take a closer look at the two men involved in the main event of the evening!" Nogueira vows he'll get a submission, Couture says you should expect a tactical and explosive fight that will last as long as it needs to.

* Antonio 'Minotauro' Nogueira v. Randy 'The Natural' Couture (UFC 102 Main Event)

31-5-1 Nogeuira is up first. His credentials as the former Pride champ and former UFC Interim Heavyweight champ are put over by Rogan. Big Nog comes in at 231. THE ROOF COMES OFF THE BUILDING for the arrival of Couture as the camera pans the crowd at the weigh-ins. Couture looks quietly confidant as he steps on the scale, though a small smile breaks out as the crowd keeps cheering. Couture weighs in at 220. No drama as they pose.

Rogan goes to interview Big Nog first. "Tomorrow night is the most important fight in my life. I just came off a loss, so I train very much, you're going to see a better fight than my last for sure. I'm very prepared, I trained hard for three months, I know he's a good opponent, but I'm going to bring a lot of good things to him." Couture is interviewed next and the crowd goes wild. "Portland it's good to be home! It's a great fight, he's a tremendous opponent. It's a pleasure to be in the main event in the Pacific Northwest, where I grew up and lived for so long. I think we'll go out and have a good performance, it's going to be a great fight." Rogan can't wait and neither can I. That's the weigh-ins! See you tomorrow for our LIVE UFC 102 recap.
