Predictions: 11 of 13 Winners, 5 Perfect, 675 Points   |   Tied for 161st

The fighters are weighed in and two missed the mark. Felipe Arantes missed weight by 2 lbs, forefeiting 20% of his purse to Perez, while Charles Oliveira tied a UFC record for his fifth career miss (he now shares the distinction with John Lineker.) He was off by a whopping 9 lbs and will forfeit 30% of his purse to Lamas, who agreed to what is now essentially a lightweight fight he weighed in at 146 for. 

By my (rough) estimates, this should grant Lamas in the neighborhood of an extra $15k for taking the fight, win or lose, and the 30% fine marks a step in a new direction for the promotion, which will now be increasing fines depending on the severity of the miss. 

Anyway, this is a great card overall. The action kicks off on UFC Fight Pass at 630pm ET before switching to FS1 for the rest of the night at 8pm.

Enjoy!

If Nicholson fights the way he fought the last 30 seconds of R2 in this last round, he's gonna have to get carried back to his locker room by his homie Michael Perry.

Alvey holds back too much. It's ****** him up before, and it might again tonight. I think he might have given that last round away.

29-28 Alvey, but barely.

The altitude ****** both guys' stamina.  It also didn't help that Alvey looked like he held back.
