Tonight's main MMA attraction is the big K-1/EliteXC combined show at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. Weigh-ins were held yesterday at the Wilshire Grand Hotel. The actual weigh-ins were delayed from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. due to paperwork issues, which no doubt left fighters who were cutting weight for several days thrilled. Anyway, the results:

Brock Lesnar (262) vs. Kim Min-soo (255)
Royce Gracie (188) vs. Kazushi Sakuraba (187)
Johnnie Morton (213) vs. Bernard Ackah (207)
Mighty Mo (292) vs. Ruben Villareal (270)
Tim Persey (265) vs. Jonathan Weizorek (265)
Jake Shields (170) vs. Ido Pariente (168)
Melvin Manhoef (192) vs. Yoon Doon Sik (190)
Hideo Tokoro (153) vs. Brad Pickett (155)
J.Z. Calvan (158) vs. Nam Phan (155)
Isiah Hall (156) vs. Katsuhiko Nagata (156)

Notes on the show: Both Gracie-Sakuraba and Manhoef-Sik are catchweight matchups, with Gracie and Sakuraba agreeing to a weight limit of 190 and Mahoef-Sik at 195. Calvan missed weight for his lightweight showdown with Phan and will be docked 20 percent of his pay as a result. Morton, the former USC and Detroit Lions wide receiver, is making his MMA debut. His opponent, Ackah, is an Ivory Coast native and a popular television personality in Japan. Ackah is 1-0 in MMA. This fight will be three, three minute rounds instead of the usual five-minute rounds, due to the lack of experience for both fighters. Lesnar, likewise, is making his MMA debut. This isn't a lark. Lesnar, a former NCAA heavyweight wrestling champion at Minnesota is serious about making it and has been training for nearly a year. Dana White has openly said he's interested in having Lesnar. Lesnar was originally scheduled to face Korea's Hong Choi-Man, but Choi-Man was denied medical clearance by the state of California, due to what the Wrestling Observer reported as a tumor in his pituitary gland. Min-Soo is 2-5 in his career and is a former Olympic judo silver medalist. Both of his wins are by submission, but he simply hasn't mastered the standup game. The first part of this show will be broadcast live on Showtime at 9 p.m. Eastern/6 Pacific; the pay-per-view portion starts at 10 p.m. Eastern/9 Pacific. ... Gracie-Sakuraba is the key draw for hardcore fans. It is a rematch of one of the most legendary matches in MMA history, their 90-minute clash at a PRIDE show in 2000, won by Sakuraba. Sakuraba is known as "the Gracie Hunter," not just for this win, but for snapping Renzo Gracie's arm and scoring wins over Royler and Ryan Gracie. This fight won't go 90 minutes, though, as it is three, five-minute rounds. ... Eight countries are represented on tonight's fight card: The United States, United Kingdom, Japan, South Korea, Brazil, the Netherlands, Isreal, and the Ivory Coast. ... Main K-1 promoter Sadaharu Tanigawa declared at Friday's press conference that all 100,000 tickets have been sold for the event. He may as well also have declared world peace and that he will take a trip to Mars next week. It is no secret that the LA market has been flooded with free tickets to the event. I've heard from a half-dozen friends of mine who don't follow MMA, including a Spanish teacher who doesn't follow sports, who have told me they've gotten free tickets to the show. How many of these people with freebies show up will determine how good the turnout looks on television.
