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!

Now who won that ******* round? Robbie killed it for the most, but that last sequence was the most dangerous ... if a dude almost gets finished I find it hard to give him the round no matter how dominant he was...
