UFC Fighter Can't Do Special Weigh In Characters, UFC 189 Fight Motion, UFC On Fox Weigh In Results

- UFC has released their "fight motion" highlights of the huge UFC 189 event, which you can see above.

- The Reebok sponsor deal in the UFC has caused issues for several fighters, managers, cornermen, and cutmen alike, but it also appears to have eliminated individuality from fighter entrances and weigh ins.

Light heavyweight "Filthy" Tom Lawlor has been known for his unique, sometimes pro wrestling themed weigh-in characters. Lawlor commented on the matter this week.

"What am I going to do?" Lawlor said to MMAFighting.com. "I can't dress up. Reebok doesn't make a bunch of different outfits for me to wear. They don't make a Paul Varelans outfit. I can't throw on a singlet and lifts that make me 6-foot-8. They don't make a Reebok Don Frye mustache, stuff like that, so I'm kind of stuck just being myself."

You can see the full story on Lawlor at this link.
