Another great lineup from Strikeforce! Looking forward to seeing Jacare on the bigscreen in the US (as opposed to on my laptop from Japan).

SAN JOSE, Calif. – MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) was on scene for today's "Strikeforce: Evolution" official fighter weigh-ins in San Jose, Calif., where all of the night's main-card fighters made weight.

Today's weigh-in ceremonies took place at the San Jose Ballrooms 1-4 of the San Jose Marriott in downtown San Jose. Saturday's fight card takes place in the same city at the HP Pavilion.

Former Strikeforce middleweight champion Cung Le (184 pounds) and fellow main-event fighter Scott Smith (185.5) both made weight, as did co-headliners Josh Thomson (153) and Gilbert Melendez (154).

Lightweight champ Thomson and interim title-holder Melendez, who meet in a title-unification bout, suffered from a bit of a miscalculation. The California State Athletic Commission allows only one initial weigh-in attempt (meaning a fighter can't immediately remove his fight shorts and weigh in again if he's over the weight limit), and to play it safe, both Melendez and Thomson stripped naked for their attempts. Both made the 155-pound limit with weight to spare.

Only preliminary-card fighter David Douglas (157.5), a late replacement, failed to make weight on the first round of weigh-ins. He made weight on his second attempt, though, after the public event had concluded.

The full weigh-in results included:

MAIN CARD

* Cung Le (184) vs. Scott Smith (185.5)
* Josh Thomson (153) vs. Gilbert Melendez (154)
* Matt Lindland (185.25) vs. Ronald "Jacare" Souza (185.5)
* Muhammed "King Mo" Lawal (218.5) vs. Mike Whitehead (261.5)

PRELIMINARY CARD

* Antwain Britt (205.5) vs. Scott Lighty (203)
* Daisuke Nakamura (154.5) vs. Justin Wilcox (155.5)
* David Douglas (156)* vs. Bobby Stack (153.75)
* Alex Crispim (145.5)* vs. A.J. Fonseca (143.25)

* - Made weight on second attempt
