WHEN:   Tomorrow/Friday, Dec. 3, at 4 p.m. CT

WHERE:  Scottrade Center (main lobby), 1401 Clark Avenue, St Louis, Mo. 63103

WHAT:   All 26 fighters will weigh in on Friday, Dec. 3, just one day before the STRIKEFORCE: Henderson vs. Babalu Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) event this Saturday, Dec. 4, at Scottrade Center in St. Louis, MO., live on SHOWTIME® (10 p.m. ET/PT, delayed on the West Coast).  Weigh ins are open to the public, free of charge.

In the main event, legendary superstar Henderson will take on Sobral at light heavyweight (205 pounds).  Henderson is a two-time U.S. Olympic wrestling team member (‘92, ‘96) and one of the most decorated fighters in MMA history.  Sobral is fresh off a win over Lawler on June 16, his first fight since losing the STRIKEFORCE title to Gegard Mousasi on Dec. 19, 2009.

Daley, an exciting British bomber, and Smith, a superb Muay Thai striker with tremendous one-punch knockout power, have a combined 42 victories.  But only five of those wins have come via decision, and all five belong to Daley.

Lawler, a two-time world champ, will face MMA veteran Lindland, who was a silver medalist in Greco-Roman wrestling at the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney, Australia.

Local fighters Tom Aaron and Lucas Lopes will all face tough opposition in an eight-fight, non-televised undercard stacked with local talent.
