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!

Well as they say you are not the true champion until you defend. We will see if Nunes can do it.

No need to say those last two fights did not end like people expected.
I say 4 performance of the night bonuses, but I guess they could give fight of the night to Aldo and Edgar, I just think nothing huge happened in that fight.

Say what you want about the WBW division, but every WBW title fight in UFC and Strikeforce has ended with a finish.

It started with Kaufman finishing Modafferi, in July 2010.

I really hope Edgar drops to BW. He's the worst match up for McGregor, but he can't get past Aldo; and I don't think Conor will stay long enough at FW for Edgar to work his way back.

Disappointing card for me overall, no particularly great fights, though some interesting moments and results, and I'm super gutted that Edgar lost, and the idea of the featherweight division with Aldo back on top is pretty damn boring at this point.

Man, the WBW belt has been a revolving door, lately. No defenses from the division's last two champs. Wonder if Nunes can break the streak.

May not have quite lived up to the hype but still way above average for a PPV. 

Who'd have thought the most exciting move of the night would be a wheel kick by Cain? 

All that talk about Miesha being durable, tough, etc. and it sure as hell looked like she wanted out of there.

Mark Hunt: One tough S.O.B.  First man to take Lesnar to decision.

Very impressive performance from Aldo. Really looking forward to Conor/Aldo II but think Conor got the easier stylistic matchup.

Obviously Cain and Nunes will get POTNs and would have to think Aldo/Edgar for FOTN if for no other reason than a consolation for Edgar. If not Lauzon and Moose maybe?
