If you watch the clip, you can hear Wenk say that they can't have "pro" equipment to film. Its a bit of a joke. If they were just a few no-name guys in there with a video camera it would have been fine, but since they were known to be Sherdog.com employees and had "pro" equipment they couldnt film the weigh-ins? They have been able to film every other weigh-in. What makes this one different? I'm not saying the should be granted open credentials to UFC events, but they shouldnt be restricted from doing what any other non-"pro" fan can do.

They were simply asked to stop filming. Its funny how the story breaks this morning and by the evening it becomes a different story. Just to clear something up…Sherdog was never asked to leave.

Stupidity committed by all.
