The fighters are weighed in and although a few missed the mark, all the match-ups are still a go for Saturday night. 

Fight Pass prelims kick off at 7pm ET, followed by four prelims on FS1 at 8pm and the PPV main card at 10pm.

This wasn't the most stacked PPV effort on paper, but a two-week drought from the UFC has given it a bit of late heat. 

Enjoy!

Smart move on the UFC's part of putting Phil Davis on another card in Brazil after he won that controversial Machida decision.

It at least gives them a heel to boo.

Phil's wrestling is looking good. When he faces top competition, he's struggled.

Vitor should stop doing the title motion. It looks like he's touching his junk now.

Davis doing much better than expected. Glover looks a little confused. Kinda think Davis has this now.
