The fighters are weighed in and we've got the rare event with no misses. Well, kind of; TJ Waldburger fainted while cutting weight a few hours ago, so that fight is scrapped. 

Otherwise, we've got one prelim on UFC Fight Pass at 530pm ET, followed by televised prelims on FS1 at 6pm and the main card on the same channel at 8pm. 

Enjoy!

PS. All you foos picking Bigfoot are cray. Money to be made on Mir in this one.

I'm really happy that Sam Alvey's winning in the UFC, he seems like a nice guy. I'm also happy that he beat the very overrated Cezar Mutante.

Now Frank Mir's gotta come and remove a limb from one of the most overrated HWs of all time. This whack-ass Bigfoot still talking about titles n ****. LOL.

If you had asked me for my biggest lock on this card it would be Mir over Bigfoot.

Literally the only reason he beat Browne was because Browne ****** up his knee, and idk how he beat Alistair, probably because Alistair has the worst fight IQ of all time. 

Bigfoot really should have 6 devastating losses in a row. The guy is just not good. At all.

Bigfoot is pretty awful. Whatever the hell he was 'taking' for majority of his career benefited him greatly. Now, off his magical concoctions, he shouldn't be able to beat anyone. In any division. Ever.

@mikey I have literally no knowledge of that Saenz guy, so there's an unknown factor there to me. But I know Bigfoot, and I know Mir. There is no way Bigfoot wins this fight, book it.

Bigfoot is a walking gorilla. Just slower and less agile.
