UFC held the weigh-ins for Fight Night 83 in Pittsburgh on Saturday. Among those on hand, besides the fighters of course, were Antonio Brown and Mike Mitchell of the Steelers.
While at Heinz Field, the two had tickets to give away as part of a promotion and Brown even stepped on the scale for an official weigh-in.

Brown’s weight came in at 198 pounds. According to UFC, that would put the Steelers wide receiver in the light heavyweight division, which ranges from 185 pounds to 205 pounds. Among the fighters in the class are names familiar to MMA fans like Daniel Cormier, Jon Jones, Alexander Gustafsson, Glover Teixeira, Ryan Bader, and Rashad Evans.
There are some pretty terrifying names in that group. I would imagine weighing in is as far as Brown would like to go. As for stepping in the Octagon with one of them, I’m sure Brown would gladly pass. I would too.
