The fighters are weighed in and we're set for an amazing night of fights from MSG ... but the weigh-ins didn't go off without a hitch. 

Kelvin Gastelum continues to be one of the more unprofessional fighters in the promotion, as his fight with Cowboy is off due to another failed weight cut. Elsewhere, the "Lightweight" bout between Jim Miller and Thiago Alves is still a go, but Alves missed weight by about 7 lbs and the contest will be contested at 163 lbs. 

Prelims kick off on UFC Fight Pass at 7pm ET before switching to FS1 at 8pm. The PPV main card airs at 10pm. 

Enjoy!

I guess Frankie took that 10-9, but neither fighter really got established. Tense round though.

After this fight I want to see Frankie try Bantamweight. Strength advantage with his technique would be incredible.

How do you score that round? Edgar won most of it, but Stephens rocked Edgar badly. It's Bisping vs Hendo 2 all over again.

If Frankie Edgar was a baseball player he would get knocked out by a fastball and then hit two inside the park home runs with a single swing twenty seconds later.

What a fight. 29-28 or 30-27 Edgar, depending on how you score that second round.
