Keep forgetting about these early weigh-ins. 

We lost the McCall-Scoggins bout yesterday when Scoggins stopped cutting weight, but we've got the rest of the card set. 

Prelims kick off on UFC Fight Pass at 7pm ET before switching over to FS2 (hate this SD ********) at 8pm. The PPV main card, as always, starts at 10pm. 

Enjoy!

Well, that sucks ... at least now I'm going to be able to enjoy the masterpiece Wonderboy paints on his face. 

Also, Rory must be peeing himself now. I have a feeling chance he makes a new deal with the UFC have suddenly grown tenfold.

@Slong Woodley was on a 2 fight win streak... he is a good fighter but 2 wins doesn't shout tilte contender to me, not when there were fighters with better streaks. Specially when his last win has 19 months ago.

he is the champ now good for him, but that doesnt mean he deserved the shot

Well I guess it shows you can beat 2 guys not in the top 15 and one that was dehydrated and fat in a split, and not fight for a year and a half and still ***** for a title shot to get it.

But that **** is none of my business.

Ugh.  Just ugh.  I don't want to give Woodley **** for winning the title, because he won it fair and square.  That said, he waited an ENTIRE YEAR without taking a fight and politicked behind closed doors for a shot while Wonderboy and Maia beat two top ten guys in the same amount of time.  It's like what the ****?  Why do we even bother having rankings for the sport?  Just for show?

On the bright side,

This might open the door for Diaz/Lawler II immediately now.

He was promised a shot and waited

He was promised a shot and waited, simple as that. He's the new UFC WW champion.

I can't wait to be called racist now for thinking TWood shouldn't have been given the shot even though I give valid reasons.

Because that is what happens when you happen to disagree with a fighter that just happens to come from Ferguson.

@SlongKong  So?  Dana promises title shots to everybody and walks back on them multiple times.  He did it to Arlovski and he did it to Jacare.  Why does Dana need to feel obligated to promise Woodley a shot and not the other guys?

Great performance by Woodley and he was humble in victory. That being said, I hope Wonderboy breaks his foot off in Woodley's ass and then KOs his mom.
