What a wack-ass day for weigh-ins. 

Not only did DC miss weight by 1.2 lbs on his first attempt, but his second attempt (less than three minutes later) saw him shed that weight in record time. But ... our title fight's on ... so, cool?

Also, main card debutant Pearl Gonzalez was removed from the card after weighing in because the NYSAC decided she shouldn't be allowed to compete with breast implants. They reversed that decision hours later, accomplishing nothing but humiliating Gonzalez in the process. 

Ridiculous, but we're a go for Saturday night with the rare UFC event of 2017 with NO cancellations. 

Prelims kick off on UFC Fight Pass at 6pm ET before shifting to FS1 at 8pm. The PPV main card kicks off at 10pm.

Rosa/Burgos put on a great fight. I honestly thought it was close until the finish and the finish was a hair early imo. I picked Burgos but besides the point it was slightly premature stoppage.

I think Rosa let the crazy fight he had with Yair go to his head and now tries to do flashy spinning **** all the time.

Usman did what i thought he would. Legit Top 10 now. Too bad DHK is booked. Appropriate callout. Maybe if Covington or DHK pull out Usman can fill in. Magney is a good callout and Rick Story came to mind as well.

Just like I envisioned it...because de la Torre had no business being in there with Jury.

Man Will Brooks hasn't looked all that great since signing with the UFC. Sc****d by Ross Pearson and now has lost two fights by sub. I hope he figures it out and can get back on track.

Accurate translation: "I am the best jiu-jitsu fighter in my division. If I take you down I can defeat anyone. If you enter the cage with me it's going to be rough, be it on the ground or standing up."

Also something about featherweight but I wasn't paying attention at the end (watching some MLB along with this. Lol)

EDIT: By the way why is every Portuguese translator terrible? Sometimes the translators even outright lie about what the fighter said.
