Predictions: 8 of 12 Winners, 4 Perfect, 525 Points   |   Tied for 256th

The fighters are weighed in and we're set (for real this time) for what should be an epic night of fights. 

The weigh-ins weren't without their drama. Johny Hendricks missed weight by .25 lbs and will forfeit 20% of his purse to Kelvin Gastelum and Miesha Tate weighed in at literally the last possible minute, 9:59am local time. If she had arrived 60 seconds later, she would have been removed from the card. 

Anyway, the action kicks off on UFC Fight Pass at 630pm ET before switching to FS1 at 8pm. The PPV main card kicks off at 10pm. 

Enjoy!

@michigan why did you have to switch? Should have had Kelvin in the first place! ;-)

I was feeling very confident in Misha Tate defeating Nunes, but after watching the weigh in, Im not so sure anymore, si not that she barley made weight but it was a bit of everytihing, how she looked, how long it took her to make weight, ahe barley made it on time, and she needed to strip bare.
If she drained herself IM not so sure she can withsdtand the Nunes onslaught of the first round.

She looked fine in her interview tonight. Part of them doing those early weigh-ins is now she has a lot more time to recover. If Nunes does win it wilp be early.

Top to Bottom, UFC 200 is the best UFC card ever

The least interesting fight (on paper) on this card would be Northcutt's fight. And that says a lot about UFC 200 considering his "popularity",

Hendricks/Gastelum
Mousasi/Santos
Lauzon/Sanchez

I keep mentally flip-flopping on which of those guys in each fight are going to win tonight.

I've looked forward to this day for so long and it's finally here. Including my wife and children, this is the greatest day of my life. Not even the world ending in 2011 made me this excited.


Here are my picks.

Just the fact that this starts soon gives me chills... I'm so excited for this! Edgar/Aldo is the main event to me, and it's the second PPV fight! I really want Anderson to win, also. If he wins this, he proves that he's the GOAT. I've never been so excited for a card! Can't wait!

Being honest here 
Miller/Gomi - Co main event on a fight night 
Santos/Mousasi - Main event on a fight pass card 
Lauzon/Sanchez - Co main on a fox card 
Northcutt/Marin - Co main on a fight night 
Gastelum/Hendricks - Main event on a fight night 
Dillashaw/Assuncao - Main event on a fight night 
Zingano/Pena - Co main event on a fox card
Velasquez/Browne - Main event on a fox card

And the rest up is a main event on any PPV

2 things off the top of my head I never thought I'd see:

1) Miesha Tate headling a card on which any of the following fighters also appeared: Dillashaw, Hendricks, Cain, Aldo, Edgar, Cormier, Anderson, Brock. And they're ALL on this one card. just wow

2) Anderson Silva being the biggest betting underdog on any card EVER.
