Starting this one early ... cuz it's that sick. 

Fight Pass prelims kick off at 7pm ET Saturday night, followed by a stacked FS1 prelims card at 8pm and then the PPV main card at 10pm. 

I see about 8 fights in the running for bonuses.

Can't wait for tonight.  You know how good the card is when Cruz is fighting on the prelims (even though he's been out for awhile).

Fights I'm really looking forward to are:

Johnson/Cariaso
Masvidal/Krause
Cruz/Mizugaki
Cerrone/Alvarez
Poirer/McGregor
Zingano/Nunes
Kennedy/Romero
 

In no particular order....man this card is stacked.

In that episode of Embedded, Conor is done weighing in on the scale so Poirier comes out and gets on. Conor stands beside him flexing. Hilarious!

it makes me feel sad that a lot of people a dissing this fight.  Im a huge DJ fan and i feel like hes getting hate when he has no control over who he fights.  idk,  people say this shouldnt be a main event but how else are the flyweights going to get exposer you know?  what message would it send to fans and fighters a like if they made this a co main even? it would be saying "we dont care about this div",  IMO the flyweights will not get popular with this attitude. I understand that this card has great fights, but i think this is going to be a great fight to.  I think people are assuming that because Cariaso doesnt deserve the title this is going to be a bad fight, but the flyweights always bring it, and i think this fight is still going to be good.  I respect DJ to much as a champion to say this doesnt deserve a main even slot.  i think saying it doesnt is being disresctful to a champion, who got where he is by literal blood sweat and tears.  watch the main event, but dont do it for Dana, because **** him, do it for DJ man, he deserves the spotlight.  I love each and every member here on tap, even the ones who dont like me, because without you, i would have no outlet for my favorite sport, but, as with all families, we have our disagreements.  im not dissing the people who disagree with my opinion on this fight, this is just a plea for them to be a little more open minded.

@flying_frontkick   I particularly enjoyed him laughing his head off while watching back the previous embedded, meanwhile Poirier is talking about how much he hates Conor, lolz.

Most anticipated card of the year so far for me. And TheTnuggs, I agree with you about DJ but I'd rather see either of the other top 2 fights as ME so that we could get 2 possible 5 rders.
