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.

Do a double thick belt just like Jigaro Kano got.

What he said.

"If the enemy rejects the ground, I would take him down by tackle. Why didn’t he [Royler] do so? May I introduce him to a good coach? His tackle was... like a girl’s one... Mr. Royler, how are you feeling?" - Kazushi Sakuraba

You should keep going with belts and never stop. Maybe next be a Kano belt, then Gracie, then Fedor and so on.

So I tried to show a friend the press conference from last night, and has anyone else realized the UFC has removed all evidence of the last 6 minutes where Conor is getting tipsy and talking a little too negatively about the media.

That was the best part of the whole press conference!!

He had a few sips of Midleton. I don't think he was that tipsy.

He may be small, but he is Irish.

I don't think it was that ... Conor's been looking a bit lackluster (at least compared to his usual self) the whole weekend.

I have a feeling he was either a bit under the weather or this cut was a tough one for him. People don't realize how important that extra pound is in the lower weight classes. A guy who's already pushing the edge to get down to 146 really feels the 145.
