Predictions: 8 of 11 Winners, 3 Perfect, 475 Points   |   Tied for 576th

The fighters are weighed in and we're set to go after a rocky start.

Lineker and Gastelum badly missed weight (4 lbs and 9 lbs, respectively), BUT those fights are A GO!!! Both Lineker and Gastelum were fined 30% of their purses, which will be given to their opponents.

Prelims are set for UFC Fight Pass at 630pm ET, followed by the televised prelims on FS1 at 8pm and then the PPV main card at 10pm. 

Enjoy!

Come on Joe, he didn't really drop 2 weight classes. His last weigh in was 216 pounds which is a small light heavy.

I'll be curious to see how the judges scored that one. Alcantara stuffed the td and landed in mount but for less time it seemed that Moreira had top position and had him pushed against the cage. I'd give it to Ildemar but it seemed like Moreira had the fight where he wanted it.
