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!

Oliveira is infuriating. Dude doesn't even TRY to cut the weight. Weighs in a class above. Probably feels great. And he always comes in looking great.

@Hornet Idk, but you didn't piss me off. People can support whoever they want. Oliveira keeps getting on my bad side, though.

@mikelovestacosxd

To play devil's advocate for a quick minute, Oliveira did take the fight on 3 weeks notice.

@dtrain

I can see why.  I think Oliveira is lazy when it comes to weight cuts (in that he doesn't do it at all). I just wanted him to win so that I can get a top 25 on the leaderboard.

@Horney Yes, but plenty of people have taken fights on less notice and made weight. Or didn't miss by 9 pounds. 

And yes, Lamas!!!! Karma's a *****.

I doubt Diego gets submitted. So it's really a question of whether or not Held's cardio will hold up.
