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!

The fight pass fights did start 5 hours ago lol. Reminds me of that Mir/Duffee card last year, 9/12 fights went to decision. Only time I've passed out during a main card sober.

Krylov was considered almost a joke that didn't belong at this level after his UFC debut, but he has put together a pretty respectable run since. Still, that submission loss to OSP on his record is a reminder of how inept he may actually still be.

Wow that looked like a pretty weak neck crank Barroso tapped to.

Barroso may have tapped due to cardio more than anything.

I didn't realize headbutts to the chest were illegal. I would have to disagree with that rule.

I don't really see any reason for head-butts to be illegal in general other than some subjective perception that they esthetically look barbaric.

Headbutts are great if you want every fighter to end up with massive brain damage

They give each other massive brain damage all sorts of ways already. How are head-butts really any different?

@mulefloyd "The lack of rules tended to make wrestler throw his opponent down and clumsily headbutt their chest until there was nothing left that wasn't a bloody crater." - Seanbaby

I think Headbutts are illegal basically because wrestlers would be overpowered if they were allowed.

Wow. That was nasty. I hope we get to see de Randamie vs. Cyborg at 140 later in the year.

Losing a BJJ match do Demian Maia shouldn't warrant being an underdog against Tumenov.
