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.

Dariush/Nijem is literally a fight where, if they fought 100 times, I think Nijem got the one and only win he would ever get over him. So bizarre because it is blatantly obvious how much better of a fighter Dariush is.

Dariush would murder Nijem if they fought again.

What's with the "USA" chants?  Don't they know that Dariush is American?
