The fighters are weighed in and everyone's set to go for one of the bigger Fight Nights in some time. 

Prelims kick off on UFC Fight Pass at 6pm ET before moving over to FS1 from 7 until midnight. 

I'm attending this one live, so Greg's taking over in the FightCenter.

I gave the 1st to Sanchez so the 2nd to Matsuda. Both were close so I hope the judges did the same. This fight is a perfect example of whu fights should be judged as a whole instead of each rd separately.

I have it even after 2 rd 1 to Sanchez for the KD, Rd 2 for Matsuda he was busier and more effective.
