The fighters are weighed in and we're set for the last UFC Fight Night card before August 23!

We haven't had a drought that long in quite a while. 

This one's pretty decent. 

Prelims kick off on UFC Fight Pass at 630pm ET followed by an FS2 card at 8pm and the FS1 main card at 10pm.

This is a hard card to pick, I'm not sure on most of the fights. Damn it.

Some good stuff on here but I still feel like 11 fights is the ideal UFC card size.

I am going to the fights tonight! This is my first UFC event and I have been a fan since TUF 1. OVER 10 YEARS I HAVE BEEN WAITING TO BE ABLE TO FINNALLY AFFORD GO TO A UFC!

OSP is going to TKO Glover...... Vince told me himself in June that he is going for the "Knock Out tonight!"

Wish me luck Tapology!!

The guy from Greece is fighting like this is his first fight ever and he's never trained a day in his life. He looks so awkward in there.

Holtzman isn't even fainting and he's landing with ease. I don't think I've ever seen that in the UFC.
