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!

Khabib's incredible controll and persistent groundNpound really make you feel bad for his opponents. Like watching a bully just destroy some helpless kid on the playground.

That was a dominant win by Nurmagomedov.  That was a title shot worthy beatdown.

Now THAT was a call-out. 

Take notes, Ferguson. 

Last weekend I thought Tony was the #1 Contender. But it HAS to be Khabib. Just has to. 24-0. Most dominant fighter in the division by a country mile.
