The crop of 18 fighters for UFC 74: “Respect” have all weighed-in for the pay-per-view (PPV) event tomorrow evening from the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, Nevada.

It was not incident-free, however.

Middleweight Thales Leites tipped the scales at 188 pounds — three pounds over the 185-division limit. He has two hours to lose two pounds to reach the 186 threshold (one pound over the limit in non-title fights).

Not surprisingly, Josh Koscheck receive less than a warm welcome when he approached the podium. On the other hand, his opponent Georges St. Pierre was showered with praise.

Kendall Grove and David Heath got into some very close, head-rubbing trash talking, while light heavyweights Renato “Babalu” Sobral and David Heath seemed to have a few choice words for one another, too.

Here are the official results:

Hvywt.: Randy Couture (228.5) vs. Gabriel Gonzaga (252)
170 lbs.: Georges St. Pierre (170) vs. Josh Koscheck (170)
155 lbs.: Joe Stevenson (155) vs. Kurt Pellegrino (155)
185 lbs.: Kendall Grove (184) vs. Patrick Cote (184.5)
155 lbs.: Roger Huerta (155) vs. Alberto Crane (155)
205 lbs.: Renato “Babalu” Sobral (204) vs. David Heath (205)
Hvywt.: Frank Mir (255) vs. Antoni Hardonk (244)
185 lbs.: Thales Leites (188) vs. Ryan Jensen (185)
155 lbs.: Marcus Aurelio (155) vs. Clay Guida (155)

UFC 74 takes place tomorrow, August 25, at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, Nevada. The televised portion of the pay-per-view (PPV) event begins at 10 p.m. EST.

In the Spike TV pre-fight show. It was pretty funny when they had Koscheck's reaction.

His eyes went from being way too open to bug-eyed lol, "Better then me!" If you haven't seen it, you will about 50 times before the show.

But seriously, it pissed me off, lol.

It was actually pretty good though. They showed Koscheck working on his striking and GSP working on his wrestling. They both looked decent at their non respective sports, but this really is a weird match up.

Koscheck and his trainers are very realistic about the fight and GSP's strengths.
