Derrick Lewis was also fighting the best fighters in the division while trying to cut like 25-30lbs in a span of 72 hours by basically just starving himself.

This is the healthiest hes looked in awhile.

Lewis came out with abs? This of course will not add skills to him, but there is hope to see a real beast.

Gabriel Bonfim, TKO, R2
This should be Preston Parsons fight if it wasn't for that texas robbery. Featured Prelim is a big spot and should've been Parsons.

Feeling pretty good with already being on the Wonderboy and CJ sides of those fights and now their opponents both had bad cuts at elevation

They said it on the weigh-in show. Don't shoot the messenger. But you're right, they just said that he isn't allowed to cut more weight

oh you’re good lol I actually assumed he had another hour too but I saw someone tweet right after Salvador missed that Utah doesn’t give the extra hour apparently. Even if they did I doubt he’d have attempted, 3 pounds is a massive miss

Pereira is not gonna cut more, 3 pounds over and looked very cut already on the scale. He's simply put on too much muscle to be able to get down to 171 from the looks of it.

I'ma keep my bet at Pereira +187 but I like it a lot less now. Too bad I don't have it on the player's exchange because I could have sold that bet at a profit with arbing since he's down to +130 generally now.

Gotcha. If he gets it for free then sure. You're totally right, Jan is surprisingly good on top but terrible off his back.
