Usually you'd think it's a promo stunt, but at this point this does more for Berry than for the UFC. Not a single person will watch today based on Halle Berry making a short appearance at the weigh-ins. So I wonder if she pays the UFC or the other way around.
I'd bet money some people who don't watch MMA will now check it out. There were places that normally don't cover MMA that reported on her being there. A fan of Halle who's never watched MMA interests could easily be peaked and they go watch the PPV somewhere. Why would she pay the UFC? People will maybe go see her MMA movie after this, but the UFC's also involved in the movie so they both benefit from spreading the word. OP's a perfect example of an MMA fan who's totally outraged by a non-fighter being at a weigh-in. I'm not saying the UFC had to pay her to show up, maybe she came as a fan.
