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 had Dwyer here and then checked my picks 2 hours before deadline wondered why the **** I had Dwyer and switched to Macario. Glad I did. He's hexed now, but I'm still glad I made the change.

I don't see how dropping to featherweight benefits Tiago Trator, he certainly didn't look stronger... and holy crap, they're saying that De La Torre cuts 24kgs to make FW? that's Tibau's level of cutting

@CthuluJones  Cain is on another level of talent and physical ability that no Heavyweight in the division right now (outside of maybe Cigano) can match.  It's a shame Velasquez gets injured a lot; because if he stayed healthy for an extended period of time, he would have cleaned out the rest of the Heavyweight division by now.

I must give DW some props in that i heard he wants to start deducting a point for eye pokes. i agree with that all the way. i can't think of anything worse than a bad eye poke. Plus i think gibson will still get some more chances in that i once heard DW say a bad decision in brazil does not penalize you if you did well. Gibson did well in that fight.

Is William Macario trying to channel his inner Kevin Randleman by dyeing his hair platinum blonde?
