UFC light heavyweight Tom Lawlor has the best weigh ins in UFC history. When the Reebok Deal mandated uniforms at weigh ins, there was concern that the colorful entrances would end, but Lawlor can’t be stopped.

At the UFC 196 weigh ins, he got Irish warrior cornrows, and tattoos of a giraffe and a tiger mysteriously appeared on McLawlor’s chest and stomach, respectively.

McGregor was caught on tape reacting to the good natured homage.

Lawlor weighed in at 204.5 lbs for fight with Corey Anderson on the main card, while featherweight champion McGregor hit 168 lbs for welterweight against lightweight Nate Diaz.

In the past Lawlor has come on stage as a wide variety of figures familiar to the hardcore fanbase.

In our favorite one of all time, accomplished reserve deputy sheriff, actor, musician, philanthropist, film star, producer, writer, guitarist, and Shihan Steven Seagal had just spent months and months and months and months and months and months teaching Anderson Silva and Lyoto Machida the front kick. Thus it was only fitting and appropriate that at the UFC 139 weigh ins, Lawor channel the essence of Seagal, and actually appear as him, right down to the leaping front kick.

Wait, what happened there??!?:

The Athletic Commission representative, unfamiliar with the unorthodox kicks of Aikido, was at a loss.

With Chris rumored to be needing a new tooth, Lawlor completed the weigh in:

A UFC weigh in was once conducted in a hotel bathroom. They are now full blown shows, televised on FOX Sports 1, and watched by many thousands live.

And no one does them better than Tom Lawlor.
