The fighters are weighed in and everyone but Dern hit the mark. (She missed by 7 lbs this time.)

This card has flown under the radar, but it's growing on me by the hour. Maybe it's just because there's been a dearth of quality cards in the last couple months. 

Prelims kick off on UFC Fight Pass at 615pm ET before switching to FX at 8pm. 

The PPV main card, as always, touches down at 10pm. 

Enjoy!

Good job Mutante, and I love it when a Brazilian calls out a Brazilian.

Paulo Costa vs Cezar Ferreira would be a good fight.

About what was expected. Well at least we know Brazilians will be 6-4 on this card when this bout's over.

Dayum.  Done in by the Front Kick again!  Nice KO by Machida.  Doesn't look like he took much pride in that win.  Shame Vitor's career ended like that.  But who knows, maybe he goes to RIZIN sometime in the future and gets back on the old TRT.

That was better than the Anderson Silva knockout. 7 years later, Vitor gets heemed again. Neat.
