Predictions: 11 of 13 Winners, 5 Perfect, 675 Points   |   Tied for 161st

The fighters are weighed in and two missed the mark. Felipe Arantes missed weight by 2 lbs, forefeiting 20% of his purse to Perez, while Charles Oliveira tied a UFC record for his fifth career miss (he now shares the distinction with John Lineker.) He was off by a whopping 9 lbs and will forfeit 30% of his purse to Lamas, who agreed to what is now essentially a lightweight fight he weighed in at 146 for. 

By my (rough) estimates, this should grant Lamas in the neighborhood of an extra $15k for taking the fight, win or lose, and the 30% fine marks a step in a new direction for the promotion, which will now be increasing fines depending on the severity of the miss. 

Anyway, this is a great card overall. The action kicks off on UFC Fight Pass at 630pm ET before switching to FS1 for the rest of the night at 8pm.

Enjoy!

I ******* love RDA. He is able to magically alter his route and stop a movement when he feels a counter coming - as if momentum hasn't been properly explained to him.

19-19. Really good fight so far. Both of their chins are holding up surprisingly well (RDA after being finished by Alvarez and Ferguson after being rocked multiple times by Vannata).

Why did you leave Rafael Cordeiro, RDA? Now you have a corner who literally just told you to circle away for one minute until you figure out what he wants to do.
