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.

If OSP had a gas tank he would be a problem

If this is what a fight between two top 10 fighters looks like the 205 division's in a bad place. Glover looked nothing like the black belt he supposedly is and OSP is just awful if he can't punch you out in 35 seconds.

I guess Rogan just accidentally leaked that Reem/JDS is official and he has already filmed the promos. 

It was live on his Fight Companion podcast.

Did good but ****, I thought I picked Nunes. Mentioned I could see her winning when that fight was announced but guess I went with McMann and never decided to change it.

Some guy I follow on Twitter, Carl, predicted 2 out of 13 of tonight's fights correct. So remember, if you had a bad card, just think to yourself "At least I'm not Carl."

After all these years of betting on fights I still get that "I don't get it" heart sinking disbelief when I watch the commission work a decision like that.....it's seriously hard to watch. 

Another thing that never ceases to amaze me, is how comical I find the media and interwebbers trying to convince anyone that will listen, themselves included, that it was close......that the judges didn't put in any extra "work"
