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!

10-8 Woodley. 

38-37 Woodley for me. And I'm rooting for Wonderboy. Just a lot of damage in that round.

47-47 DRAW for me. 

Could be 48-47 Wonderboy if you had R4 a 10-9. 

Wouldn't agree with a 48-47 Woodley, but it's possible based on R3 being close.

I got it 3-2 Thompson, but I fully expect a split

Thompson won 3 rounds but could be a draw either 47-47 or 48-47 Thompson.
