The fighters are weighed in and everyone but Guillard is good to go. He missed weight, changing the co-main to a three-round, non-title affair. 

Prelims kick off on NBCSports.com at 630pm ET followed by the main card on NBC Sports at 9pm.

It looks like the Guillard/Gaethje fight is only 3 rounds, non-title. 

This sport is unreliable enough w/o guys like Guillard.

It's also got a bit of reliability due to guys like Melvin.

Gaethje has to have the lowest fight IQ in the game.

Gillard couldn't  grapple his way out of a wet paper bag, so Gaethje stands with him for 3 rounds.  Come on Breaux.

He dominated him standing though. 

Branch was one of my wiser underdog picks I guess.

I think the real thing to realize here is that UFC shouldn't have trimmed the Branch.
