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!

@mikeyg

Same.  Lesnar proved that he still has something left in the tank and I would like to see him fight again, to be honest.

@FollowTheMoney Nope, I agree. Conor and Nate would have generated much more hype as main event, no matter if you like Conor or not.

Exactly man I don't get why I got down thumbed pre event. It's not like you're trading in all of the other fights for Conor Nate, it's just the icing on the cake.

Tate looks uncomfortable. Idk what it is. But she looks suuuuper nervous here. She was all smiles prior to Holly fight. While Amanda just looks like she's all business. I smell an upset. 

or just poop. Idk.

I'm so impressed with Brock. I lurk but havent been active in like 2 years but felt the need to log in and say wow. He deserves so much respect. I was obviously concerned when he was standing up with Hunt but he managed to survive (not that it was sensible to be there, I was screaming take him down/push him to the cage). Some of the takedowns he completed on Hunt were insane against a guy with Hunts take down defense (people talk **** about hunt unrightly so, his TDD is quality and the way he had his right hand corked like a fking tekken player for a lot of the second round tells you all you need to know about his punch). I just cant believe he came back after so long out and did that.

And the title exchange at Women's Bantamweight continues.  What a dominant win for Nunes.

As predicted: 2 Brazilian champions by the end of the weekend. Order has been restored.

Also, and this is much bigger, Nunes is the first openly gay UFC champion.
