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.

Had it either way; 30-27 isn't even outrageous. I had Gibson in R1, but that was a close round.

It was close, but I think it was pretty clear Gibson won the first and third round. Not sure on what planet Andrade could have won all 3 rounds. That's why I'm saying robbery.

You guys should stop with the Brazilian judging myth >.>

But yeah... 30-27 kind of sucks.

They should bring in judges from Vegas to do these Brazilian fight cards.  It's getting ridiculous with these bizarre decision results.

@GreenHornet553 The judges are the same... It is the audience that sways them, and it doesn't even happen that often.

Judging blows everywhere, but it seems to favor Brazilian fighters in Brazil. It's like that in other areas too, but American judges just suck, I don't think they play favorites.

@vazio

I had money on Gibson, and think it could be a split dec too either fighter, but the 30-27 just need to stop in fights like this.

That is what im upset about. They are always saying the same things like: "Don't leave it in the hands of the judges", BUT if you do, you should be able to rely on judges that know their ****. 

They are being biased because of the audience, but if they were too think more rationally, they would be able too close that off.

Brazilian fights are mostly judged by the same american judges we know and hate from Las Vegas. It is just that they are so bad and the audience so loud that sometimes they think everything the guy supported by the audience is doing is working.
