The fighters are weighed in and we only lost one of the OG match-ups when Ryan Couture's original opponent was forced out in favor of a (presumably) much easier opponent. 

Prelims likely kick off on Spike.com at 7pm ET tomorrow night followed by the main card on Spike TV at 9pm. 

A few guys I'm pretty interested in seeing on this one.

Ireland is taking over, first McGregor now McGeary. Can you dig it?

McGreary is English, although his last name is Irish.

I thought he was black, American and that was his slave name. Anyways, tank him, tank him for that triangle.

No, he just trains there. He might be interracial though and his dad could be Irish.

Newton is so gassed... What the hell happened during his training camp? If he wasn't 10x better than Beltran he'd have lost his belt already.

Newton is so much better than him... This is the worst Newton I've ever seen and he still destroyed Beltran. To be honest he was kind of lucky that Beltran was already punch-drunk by the time he gassed.

EDIT: I had said "What. The. Hell. Newton is completely falling apart."

Edited it out by mistake.
