UFC Fighter Murdered, UFC 92 Weigh-In Results (Fight?!)
FightLine.com is reporting that mixed martial arts fighter Justin Eilers was shot and killed late Christmas night in Nampa, Idaho. Eilers' manager and friend, Monte Cox, confirmed his death to FightLine.com on Friday morning. According to KTRV Fox 12 in Nampa, Canyon County Sheriff's officers responded to a domestic disturbance call in the 4600 block of Happy Valley Road in Nampa around 10:45 p.m. on Thursday. When officers arrived on the scene they found that an adult male, later confirmed by Cox as Eilers, had been shot and killed. James Robert Malec, 48, was taken into custody and charged with second-degree murder. Details surrounding the incident have not yet been revealed by police, but sources close to Eilers indicate that Malec is the boyfriend of Eilers' mother. He and Eilers reportedly got into some sort of argument and Malec allegedly produced a gun and shot Eilers.

If UFC 92 (UFC's 'WrestleMania') tomorrow night (Saturday) is half as intense as the weight-ins were today, fans are in for a treat. FightLine.com is reporting that following a very tense staredown, Wanderlei Silva and Quinton Jackson engaged in a brief tussle and had to be separated by UFC staffers. Jackson started the brief fracas by lightly pushing Silva's arm who responded with a full out push to Rampage's chest. The two men were then separated and escorted off of stage with Silva yelling at Rampage. It's clear that the beef between these two is not manufactured. Silva, who has defeated Rampage twice before while the two fought for PRIDE in Japan, has stated repeatedly that he doesn't like Rampage personally and is looking forward to fighting the former UFC light heavyweight champion for personal reasons. Should be an intense contest. As for the rest of the weigh-in, all fighters made weight and are ready to go for tomorrow's event. Below are the full weigh-in results cortesy of FightLine.com:
