Just got this from Sherdog


CORAL GABLES, Fla., Feb. 15 -- Neither Kimbo Slice nor Tank Abbott went street Friday evening.

The brawling heavyweights, who headline Saturday's Showtime-televised EliteXC card from the United Bank Center on the campus of the University of Miami, joined 20 other fighters in making weight at a local Holiday Inn.

All remained quiet on the 305 front as Abbott momentarily locked eyes with Slice, the controversial Internet fighting sensation who has recently moved onto regulated mixed martial arts competition, before turning with a fist raised towards the small group gathered pool-side.

Slice stepped on the scale a ripped 234 pounds. Abbott, carrying his customary frame, approached the heavyweight division's limit at 263 pounds.

The 11-bout card begins at 7:30 p.m. ET, with the Showtime portion picking up at 10 p.m.

Full card:
Kevin Ferguson (Pictures) (234) vs. David Abbott (263)
Antonio Silva (259.75) vs. Ricco Rodriguez (Pictures) (262.75)
Scott Smith (184) vs. Kyle Noke (Pictures) (184.75)
Yves Edwards (Pictures) (160) vs. James Edson Berto (Pictures) (158.25)
James Thompson (Pictures) (253) vs. Brett Rogers (Pictures) (264)

Internet-streamed fights
Rafael Feijao (204.5) vs. John Doyle (Pictures) (203.25)
Jon Kirk (Pictures) (183) vs. Yosmany Cabezas (Pictures) (184.25)
Mario Rinaldi (Pictures) (260.5) vs. Dave Herman (Pictures) (242.5)
Eric Bradley (Pictures) (169.75) vs. Mikey Gomez (Pictures) (170)

jesus, he looks shredded! I can't believe that is the same guy!

Ricco... well, he made the 265 limit so fair play, I have a picture of him somewhere weighing 332lbs, so I am guessing he is on the mend... I hope so, he had so much talent and potential, I really want to see him in shape, back at a tight 240 and up against Mir...

Holy shit, James' opponent is a big guy, he makes James look almost small (which is ridiculous).

Tank don't look to bad, anyone know if he has actually been training for this fight?
This event is gonna be sooooo good!
I'd expect James to be in awesome shape after training with Extreme Couture for a while now.
:)

Looks like the undercard starts at 1am GMT

Some of your best work!

I must say, I think Tank looks to be in the best shape of his life. If he can beat Kimbo, it would keep him in a position to keep earning money in MMA.
