Fighters are weighed in and we're set for some Sunday AM MMA ... because the UFC don't give a Rotterdam about Mother's Day, apparently. 

Heh.

Anyways, prelims kick off on UFC Fight Pass at 1030am ET followed by the rest of the business on FS1 at noon. 

Enjoy!

Not a serious suggestion but wouldn't it be fun to see Emmett fight Ross Pearson just to confuse the announcers.

That's why you don't block head kicks with one hand.

Cedenblad definitely a dark horse of the 185 division. Title contender? Idk, but definitely has the potential to shake things up a bit.

Khabilov hasn't suplexed anyone in like 3 years. Stop calling him the "suplex king".

lol Greg Jackson is rooting for a double KO. Best part is both Andre and Alistair have the power and chins (or lack thereof) to make it happen.

So frustrating watching guys fail to pull down on their shin to secure a triangle. Khabilov was literally yanking on his own big toe to try and get his leg right.

Khabilov ate that headkick like a bowl of Cheerios. He is a machine.

I don't even think that headkick should have cost him that round, he got dropped but all Wade could do was lay on him and then Rustam finished the round strong. But if Wade had caught him with any amount of shin he would have slept him.

This is the slowest moving card. The fights aren't bad, but there's just so much time between every fight. I don't remember when this card actually started but it feels like it was 5 hours ago.
