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!

Apparently PPV not available in Ireland this time around which makes no ******* sense since I bought UFC 200 & 202 on Pay Per View... So annoying.

Definitely round 2 goes to Rocky, and looking back at that first round it could've gone either way.

I don't wanna call Miesha's win over Holly a fluke but man, she has really gone downhill.

Man all the female people after losing the belt have been getting beat pretty bad.

Well the literal 2 examples being Holm after losing to Tate. Holm got it bad from Valentina.

and Tate after losing to Nunes for this fight.

I have it as an upset.

Congratulations to everyone who was in Pennington to win.

Miesha Tate is a waste of time and oxygen......

Another poor performance, just another one.....
