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!

No.

They held 2 belts, but not at the same time.

He has been the greatest star for the last few fights. Greatest fighter remains to be seen.

Khabib is a super compelling fight for Conor. 

That said, he only wins if he gets him down repeatedly. He needs to close distance to do that. See how well that works on Conor if you don't have reach on him? Khabib would be out-reached by a laughable margin, and he got rocked by MJ in R1 tonight. MJ is NOT Conor. 

McGregor-Diaz 3 will happen at UFC 209 in Brooklyn, would be my guess.

What I like the most is if Khabib and Conor happens, is the fact that Khabib tonight basically turned **** into a race war in his interview lol.

I'm very torn between who Ferguson and Khabib for Connor. Both are very deserving contenders.

I'm telling you now, when this man retires, people will discuss him up with GSP and Anderson Silva for greatness.

Now the question becomes will he defend both belts or drop one and try and go back up to 170 (which would be downright ******** if he tries to fight Woodley).  I personally hope he finally fulfills his obligation to DEFEND a belt (whether it is the 145 or the 155) rather than win another one.
