The fighters are weighed in and we're set for a stellar night of fights on free TV. Only Charles Oliveira missed weight, and boy did he miss badly, but the fight with Jury goes on as planned.

Prelims kick off on UFC Fight Pass at 330pm ET before switching over to FS1 at 5pm. The main card airs on big FOX at 8pm.

Enjoy!

80% of 'twitter fans' are picking Cerrone? Not sure if the UFC makes up these numbers or if UFC fans are ********. Both are plausible.

Love Cowboy, but Dos Anjos defeating Pettis will one day be remembered as the beginning of an era.

I just don't know if overeem is staying. He's in a great spot. He has some leverage, but I don't know if the ufc will pay overeem what he believes he is worth. They may tell him to leave because they believe they have some other contenders.

As much as I love Cowboy, I think RDA is the better fighter. He's gotten much better since his first victory over Cerrone and obliterated Pettis, another fighter who beat Cerrone pretty handily. Cowboy's improved too, but if RDA fights like he did against Pettis, I have a hard time seeing Cerrone win.

I am excited anyway. I honestly believe Cerrone and Dos Anjos are the best LW fighters atm, and that is after taking Pettis and Khabib into account.

@mbach Not after that fight. With that win, Overeem may have just solidified himself as the top contender.

******* damn shame RDA gets booed. This guy is the most impressive LW the UFC has seen in a long time in terms of overall skillset. When will these clowns understand this?

I love the fox cards for their pacing, wrapping 4 fights in two hours compared to normal fight nights.

I don't think Dos Anjos took this fight lightly,he's looked amazing for a while,but at the same time listening to him talk I feel like it's possible he's overlooking Cerrone who's clearly a different fighter mentally since they last fought.I could see Cerrone catching him somehow over 25 minutes.I also have reservations about Anjos because of the recent testing and his amazing change.I'm not saying he's been on ped's,imo almost everyone is on something,but he's had some inconsistent performances in his career.Time has tought us,champions often lose focus eventually.

We're about to have another new champion. This year hates the current champions.

RDA hasn't fought very recently that I recall. Cerrone fights constantly and keeps getting better. He won't lose to RDA twice. He'll finish him this time.

@greenhornet but does it make $ense for the ufc? I don't know why this came to me but I believe dos Anos & werdum are the last champs to fight under new testing policy and Iv ban. I believe we have seen a major shift to technique over physicality of late. I could be full of **** too. Here we go
