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.

Good defence from Herrera and so close to having a perfect when Borg had that guillotine locked in still third round to go.

I'm hoping Amanda Nunes can get the win here and a couple more impressive wins so she get her shot at getting demolished by Ronda.

The main reason I picked Nunes was her improvements in the Zingano fight.

Nunes/Rousey would be interesting, actually. In the first round, Nunes is a ******* destroyer.
