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!

Fun fact:

Love watching Joanna fight. Was turning into a wash before R4. I don't need to see an immediate rematch, but sometime down the line? Sure!

C_Arnoud, when you plan 13 fights and end up with 11, pacing will suck. 7am here, may have to leave for work before the main event :'(

For some reason I am getting a feeling of a Barboza vs Etim ending from Wonderboy.
