UFC on Fox 17 had one of the more memorable weigh-ins in recent memory.

There were five octagon girls on stage, an unusually high total. Three fighters missed weight due to a suspicious scale. And there was a Star Wars lightsaber battle. Yep, you read that right! l Cole Miller and Jim Alers broke out the Jedi weapons as they both weighed in for Saturday night's featherweight clash, paying homage to the release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens. It's always fantastic to see two fighters in such good spirits just 24 hours before they take to the octagon for a fight.
