The fighters are weighed in and we're set for what may be the best card of the year (on paper). 

Let's hope it delivers. 

Prelims kick off on UFC Fight Pass at 7pm ET before moving over to FS1 at 8pm. The PPV main card, as always, starts at 10pm. 

Let's get this topic as (respectably) rowdy as the Irish fans in attendance will be Saturday night!

The longer this fight goes, I think the more it favors Swick

There should be a rule against fighters smiling at each other unless they're in a back and forth brawl. You don't get to be all "yeah! yeah!" if you're no bringing it.

Damn, Dana is somewhere in that arena sweating bad. 5 UDs in a row is not how you start the biggest PPV of the year. Every boring fight is losing the UFC money.
