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!

Hard to score.  Leaning towards a 29-28 for Reyes.

Reyes was winning that round but that last TD Novelli was able to establish some strong control at the end

After that TD the split was inevitable.

I was expecting the first KO of the night for Reyes but a win for split decision probably because is in Mexico!

Hm, does that split decision get Novelli one more crack? The UFC isn't exactly known for being merciful with cuts, especially lately. And he's 0-2 in a stacked lightweight division. 

So this could be two fights, two fighters cut tonight.

Reasons I want Alvey to win:

1) Alvey is cool.
2) Nicholson is a *******. 
3) I want that KO-1 perfect. 
4) Smiling Sam post-fight interview!
