The fighters are weighed in, and this **** is actually happening!!! The whole main card stayed intact!

Prelims kick off on UFC Fight Pass at 630pm ET Saturday night before switching to FS1 at 8pm. As always, the PPV main card starts at 10pm. 

Here's hoping we get something to top or rival UFC 189. 

Enjoy!

While I think Yoel won the fight by being dominant in the 1st, I also think a point should have been taken from him. While I find him entertaining,. I'm tired of watching him cheat and than act like he didn't know what's going on.

Not that Chris Weidman needs to solidify himself as the true champ of the 185 division but I believe this fight would do it for any doubters left.

Weidman vs Romero is literally Superman vs Doomsday.

And despite Rogan's complaint, I thought the standup was reasonable.  There was no guillotine and they were just stalemated.
