Seriously, though. It should be a fun little card.
Prelims kick off on UFC Fight Pass at 630pm ET before switching to FS1 at 8pm. The PPV main card, as always, goes down at 10pm.
Enjoy!

Jones was a very lucky guy tonight, I he had fought DC, or AJ, or Gus, hell if he would've fought a full camp OSP he would have gotten his ass kicked real good, he looked bad, bottom of the tank UFC HW bad. I'm gonna give him the benefit of doubt and think it was just ring rust, but Im not convinced that it was just that.
good card in general except for the last fight, wasted time. MM looked impressive, Cejudo was looking good until he wasnt. MM was just at another level.
Yair Rodriguez was very fun to watch, impressive finish. Fili was a tough opponent and he walked trough him.
to bad a good card finished with a dud.

Lol at everyone suddenly pointing to Cruz as some magic medallion proving ring rust isn't real. All Cruz proved was he is an exceptional human being.
Y'all hating on Jones for not getting a finish is hilarious. And you can't act like OSPs arm broke all by itself.

The distinction with Cruz is because everybody keeps saying how great Jones is. If he is the greatest P4P fighter in MMA, yeah, a layoff shouldn't be a big deal. Also, 15-month layoffs in this sport are not all that uncommon as many that have been in the sport for 10 years or more will have similar gaps in their record (Aldo: 13 months between Mendes and Edgar; GSP: 19 months between Shields and Condit; Condit: 14 months between Woodley and Alves; Cruz: 36 months between Johnson and Mizugaki as well as 15 months between Mizugaki and Dillashaw; Lesnar: 12 months between Mir and Carwin; Ortiz: 14 months between Matyushenko and Shamrock as well as 14 months between Belfort and Griffin).
Of course OSP's arm was broken during the course of the fight. The point is, Jones fought a one-armed fighter for 15+ minutes and looked just okay doing it. It would be like if Aldo hadn't finished KZ after the dislocation.
