Welp. We've lost what was widely considered to be the best fight on the card, severely dampening excitement for the event. 

But the show must go on. 

Prelims kick off on UFC Fight Pass at 7pm ET before switching to FS1 at 8pm. 

The PPV main card kicks off at 10pm.

Not a lot of big moments but Morales seemed to push the pace so he edges out the round 10-9.

Soukhamthath was landing the cleaner shots and took dominant position in grappling 19-19.

Big mistake there by Soukhamthath may cost him the fight.

Personally still have Soukhamthath. Morales was stalling big time. But we'll see.

Fun fight either way,those body shots and damage could possibly sway two judges but i'm going to assume Morales gets it.

Joe asking about his nickname?

I would assume his nickname has something to do with Inglorious Basterds.

WOW! This Tyson Pedro has some power in his strikes.  Guy has some serious potential as a contender at 205.

Craig needs to move gyms if he wants better success. He has physical tools, but the rest needs to be sharpened.

Didn't understand the hype on Craig. He basically out-exhausted Henrique in his debut. Pedro has the makings of a real prospect.

@Kuma They commentated a few very short fights together in a three-man booth. Probably with Goldie.
