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.

Enjoy!

@livetowrestle I believe that most of these guys were on something: Americans, Brazilians, Canadians, Europeans etc. I'm happy for dos anjos. I remember his 1st fight in the ufc. No champion has surprised me more by becoming champion than dos anjos.

I don't see Conor McGregor being able to take the title away from this guy. Dos Anjos would school McGregor in every possible way.

The only fighter I could really picture beating Rafael Dos Anjos is Frankie Edgar.
edit: And it would probably take a rematch after a controversial split-decision.

edit 2: oh and khabib, if he hasn't retired yet.

Not sure why people are so quick to dismiss Conor's chances.  He's a decent fighter...

Excellent muay thai from RDA, but I would have given Cerrone a little bit of time, he was blocking most of the shots, and a couple were to the back of the head. It´s a title fight that deserved a stoppage with no controversy, if possible. I think we can call Herb officially "quick stoppage"

Cerrone came out strong like always, but one counter-left from dos Anjos made him regret being born.
