The fighters are weighed in and we're set to go after a rocky start.

Lineker and Gastelum badly missed weight (4 lbs and 9 lbs, respectively), BUT those fights are A GO!!! Both Lineker and Gastelum were fined 30% of their purses, which will be given to their opponents.

Prelims are set for UFC Fight Pass at 630pm ET, followed by the televised prelims on FS1 at 8pm and then the PPV main card at 10pm. 

Enjoy!

Hettes/Brandao is off due to Hettes having an undisclosed medical issue.

Neither one deserves a title shot with a win. 

Silva is coming off back to back brutal losses, so beating a Welterweight who hasn't won a fight since 2011 shouldn't get you a MW title shot...

That said, Silva should wreck Diaz.

Feel bad for Brandao. Hopefully they let him fight Vitor at the end of the month.

WPM's picks look like a black beauty in the making. That would be awesome.

Hahahaha! I RT'd @arielhelwani's tweet about Hettes/Brandao being off, & one of the 1st comments I get is "Did Brandao stab him?" Legit lol!

Apparently Hettes vs Brandao is off.  Sucks.  I was looking forward to that one.
