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 I would like to know is how the **** did this fight card swing in favor of every single fighter that was an underdog?  The Bigfoot Silva knockout I sort of get because Silva is still in post TRT mode. But outside of that, this card was like something out of the Twilight Zone.

Wow, missed watching this event live, just seeing the results.  If I hadn't taken a Michael Johnson upset decision over Barboza I would've missed 10 straight picks as I'm assuming some did.  Chalk this one up under events I wish I'd missed!  Brutal.

As far as I can tell Upset is a gimmick account that picks the underdog every time.

It is a member that picks everyone they think will lose,his percentage is 32 overall.About halfway into the event I made a post saying,the sad thing is one of those silly members that pick everyone they think will lose will probably win this event.What a wacky event.

I've been saying for years how Bigfoot is terrible, and no one believed me, and now the guys gets knocked out my Frank Mir.

I was shocked how many people were counting Frank Mir out of this fight. Bigfoot probably has the most suspect chin in the HW division. This fight reminded me alot of when he fought Big Nog before it happened. NTM Bigfood looked fraile w/o TRT and whatever else he may have used in the past.

Well I was wrong earlier about this card not doing well. I guess Mir is still a decent draw with 1,212,000 viewers way over last years UFN average. Maybe Sunday is just a good night for them.
