The fighters are weighed in and we've got the rare event with no misses. Well, kind of; TJ Waldburger fainted while cutting weight a few hours ago, so that fight is scrapped. 

Otherwise, we've got one prelim on UFC Fight Pass at 530pm ET, followed by televised prelims on FS1 at 6pm and the main card on the same channel at 8pm. 

Enjoy!

PS. All you foos picking Bigfoot are cray. Money to be made on Mir in this one.

@C_Arnaud ... you on crack. 

JOhnson systematically broke the will and body of Barboza.

It just bugs me when people like Michael Johnson say **** like "I want the belt by the end of this year"

Michael... you will never win a ******* belt.

But good performance

I don't know if calling out Benson Henderson was the best choice.
