The fighters are weighed in and we had some manufactured drama go down at the weigh-ins for the main event. 

Prelims kick off at 615pm ET on UFC Fight Pass before switching to FS1 at 8pm. As always, the main card touches down on PPV at 10pm. 

Enjoy!

I've got it 20-18 Walsh, but who knows with judges. The dominance on the ground might help Kennedy if this makes it to decision (which is looking increasingly likely).

Agree with Griffy Kennedy did not look like a fighter that belongs in the UFC.

There is absolutely no reason to believe Holm will be Rousey's biggest test.  

Stop selling.
