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.

Do you guys think the UFC will ever make some hyped non-title co-main events and other PPV fights 5 rounds just because it could make it better?

Cerrone was just too long for Alvarez. I know Alvarez wants Gil, but if he can do it, Alvarez should drop to FW.

Brilliant fight! Brilliant. Eddie had a great showing in his debut, his leg will be sore for a few weeks!

Wow! Solid win for Cerrone (one might say signature) if he wins (which he should) ... Eddie proved though that he is at the top, just got a lesson that UFC highest echelon is a notch above him ...

Great fight. Alvarez still looked solid; I think he's worth the money the UFC will be paying him.
