UFC middleweight Anderson Silva and Vitor Belfort are set to square off in the main event of UFC 126 on Saturday night at the Mandalay Bay Events Center, but the confrontation started a day early at the weigh-ins on Friday night.

The final two competitors to weigh-in, Silva got in Belfort’s face, the two jawing back and forth until things devolved into a shoving match.

In the main event, middleweight champion Anderson Silva and No. 1 contender Vitor Belfort will both have to make the 185-pound limit. Silva is big for the middleweight class, but he never seems to have much trouble making weight. Belfort, however, could make things interesting.
