A pesagem oficial do Spaten Fight Night 2, realizada nesta sexta-feira (26), chamou atenção não apenas pelos números, mas pelo contraste físico entre os dois protagonistas. Wanderlei Silva registrou peso de 93,8 kg, enquanto Popó Freitas marcou 73,6 kg, uma diferença de quase 20 quilos entre os lados do ringue.
Since the fight was announced, there was a contractual agreement that Popó would weigh in at around 73 kg, while Wanderlei could weigh up to 95 kg at the official weigh-in. This margin beyond the stipulated limit reinforces the imbalance in terms of brute strength and physical presence.

During the final face-off, it became even more evident how Wanderlei's body projects a neutral and voluminous musculature, with broad shoulders and a large torso, while Popó appeared more compact, with an athletic build geared towards boxing, less raw mass and more functional definition for combat.
