Predictions: 4 of 12 Winners, 1 Perfect, 225 Points   |   Tied for 1312th

The fighters are weighed in and three missed weight, including headliner Anthony Pettis. Pettis will not have the opportunity to win the Interim title with a victory, but Holloway still will. 

What a mess. 

Anyway, prelims kick off on UFC Fight Pass at 630pm ET before switching over to FS1 at 8pm. PPV main card airs at 10pm.

I feel like Letourneau's weight cut had something to do with that performance. She should have won fairly comfortably. She's fallen pretty far from when she challenged Joanna Champion just over a year ago.

I don't disagree with the decision. Letourneau did close to nothing in R3. Swung at air. Ate jabs and lost the clinch battle. Terrible performance in a fight she looked to have in the bag in R1.

Honest question, guys. Do any of you think Letourneau is in Trouble of getting cut? That's three losses in a row with that third coming in a boring fight where she under-performed against a newcomer she should have beat relatively comfortably. 

I'm not sure myself. The fact that she's ranked in a division that's looking to continue building could save her, but that's two shoddy performances now. 

Personally, I think she gets one more fight. Especially if they introduce a women's flyweight division.

She also missed weight too. If they're planning a 125 division that might save her, for now.

I love Shogun, but his current #7 ranking is really a sign of how sadly shallow the once great light heavyweight division has become.

Love the callout. Shogun was the other guy I would love to see as Cirkunov's next opponent.
