Predictions: 5 of 11 Winners, 3 Perfect, 365 Points   |   Tied for 711th

The fighters are weighed in and we're set for an amazing night of fights from MSG ... but the weigh-ins didn't go off without a hitch. 

Kelvin Gastelum continues to be one of the more unprofessional fighters in the promotion, as his fight with Cowboy is off due to another failed weight cut. Elsewhere, the "Lightweight" bout between Jim Miller and Thiago Alves is still a go, but Alves missed weight by about 7 lbs and the contest will be contested at 163 lbs. 

Prelims kick off on UFC Fight Pass at 7pm ET before switching to FS1 at 8pm. The PPV main card airs at 10pm. 

Enjoy!

Yoel Romero deserves this title shot.  I don't care what anyone says.  Guy is a freak athlete.

Man, Bisping is visibly scared, I've never seen him scared before. Lucky for him he already setup the "I'll never fight Romero cause steroids" beforehand.

that was one of the most brutal knees I've seen lately. For a minute there I thought Romero had cracked his skull open.

Big Bisping fan. 

Not sure about that match-up for him, to say the least. 

Weidman would have been tough, but doable. Romero may be the worst match-up in the division for him. All power and speed vs. volume. 

Also saw Helwani and company strongly hinting that Bisping is nearing retirement. May only have 1-2 fights left.
