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.

What do those dreads benefit in a fight? Seriously. Longer hair is one thing, but having dreads might be some of the dumbest **** of all time.

Jorge should throw an overhand right every time Shockley throws that lazy jab.

I guess Jorge tired himself trying to finish Shockley in the first... looked like a regional fight after the first round

Easy win for BIGFOOT *** REASON ***

This is an easy win for Bigfoot. Here is my reason why you should bet on this amazing -330 odd.

- Bigfoot recently won Alistar Overeem with an impressive KO. On the other hand Mir unaminously lost to Overeem. 

- Mir's first time fighting in Brazil.. Bigfoot's home advantage will be another factor that will benefit him.
(time difference, crowd, comforts, etc)

- Mir is in 4 losing streak. He is old, he is not improving, he is deteriorating. This may be his retirement fight.

-Stamina wise, we know bigfoot has some stamina and chin. His fight against against Hunt proves it well.


I will have to say 1st round bigfoot will just be warmed up landing good jabs, stuffing Mir's takedowns and he will finish the fight TKO or KO 2nd round OR late 1st round.

How I see Bigfoot win is...
Mir will try to take him down, bigfoot stuffs and be on top, GNP and will this.
