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.

Since Soriano's not Brazilian, is that a Blackzilian tap?

I like Soriano, but I hope he reviews the fight and learns to make better choices during fights, because he has awful   fighting IQ

im not going to give the ref any **** for that- from where he was stood that looked a lot like a fighter tapping once then passing out- if your going to go for the brazilian tap then those are the chances you take.

One thing's for sure, Soriano's much better than his 0-3 UFC record ... had a tough entry into the promotion.

Wouldn't be surprised if they cut Soriano regardless of his performance.

@wilflet, I agree, tap then nothing and his head's buried under Rosa ... ref couldn't chance it with a choke ...

I remember watching Perez back when he fought Adam Townsend and Alfred Walker back when Ring of Combat was on fox sports south.
