Starting this one early ... cuz it's that sick. 

Fight Pass prelims kick off at 7pm ET Saturday night, followed by a stacked FS1 prelims card at 8pm and then the PPV main card at 10pm. 

I see about 8 fights in the running for bonuses.

As an FYI for people who don't know, all the major video interviews, countdown specials, embedded shows, etc. are loaded onto the bottom of the major bout pages and the event page.

Imagine if Jones/Cormier was the still the headliner of this card; this could've potentially been the GOAT card.

McGregor, Romero, Poirier, Alvarez, & Zingano are all on my favorite fighters ranking list. I can't wait until for the main card because they're all on it. But I'll be watching the entire card - start to finish.

If this card still had Jones vs Gus or DC it would UFC 100 level awesome. Still a great show though.
