UFC on FOX 27 ceremonial weigh-ins highlights: 'Jacare' Souza, Derek Brunson exchange words

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – UFC on FOX 27 ceremonial fighter weigh-ins took place today, and MMAjunkie was on scene.

The weigh-ins were held at Ovens Auditorium in Charlotte, N.C. The nearby Spectrum Center hosts Saturday’s event, which has a main card on FOX following prelims on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass.

In the main event, Ronaldo Souza (24-5 MMA, 7-2 UFC) meets Derek Brunson (18-5 MMA, 9-3 UFC) at middleweight in a rematch of their 2012 bout won by “Jacare” in now-defunct Strikeforce. Given that history, it’s easy to understand why they couldn’t keep quiet during their face-off at ceremonial weigh-ins.
