The fighters are weighed in and we're set for UFC 197: McGregor vs. Dana Whi ... Oh, I mean, Jones vs. OSP!!!

Seriously, though. It should be a fun little card. 

Prelims kick off on UFC Fight Pass at 630pm ET before switching to FS1 at 8pm. The PPV main card, as always, goes down at 10pm. 

Enjoy!

Awesome performance by Barbosa. Pettis went from having the best killer instinct in the sport, to being almost tentative at times.

Pettis really needs to go back to the drawing board. I realyy don't know what he needs to do to return to championship form.

Anthony has not been the same since the RDA beating, even against Melendez he was on the defense a lot and got bullied a bit. Some guys just don't take losing well, and for Pettis a guy who was wearing sunglasses inside and thought he was unstoppable, he's gotten a rude awakening lately that he needs more than just flashy striking and some slick striking.

I don't want to jump to any conclusions, but does anyone else think Pettis looks thinner and weaker since USADA? 3 fight losing streak. Maybe 145 for Pettis next.

Decent win for Barboza.  Would love to see him fight Michael Johnson.

I'd like to see Barboza fight either Chiesa or Taisumov next.
