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!

I picked Chookagian, but won't be surprised if Carmouche grinds it out.

10-9 Carmouche

Chookagian needs to keep this standing up.  Carmouche is just dominating in the grappling exchanges.

Epic slam by Carmouche, just as Chookagian was beginning to find a little rhythm.

20-18 Carmouche

Liz gassed, but Chookagian needs a miracle KO to win this.  Otherwise she's ******.
