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!

Conor already pretty much made Dana his *****, IDK why he would want to bother with all those day to day responsibilities.

Thank you Liz.

ANY judge that didn't have the 4th round of Woodley/Thompson a 10-8 should lose their credentials imo. Thought the draw was the right call but not an immediate rematch with a deserving Maia waiting.

Don't know if I feel worse for Weidman or Bisping.

Stock up: The GOAT, of course, Woodley, Thompson's toughness, Weidman's chances for developing CTE, and Luque.

Stock down: UFC staff/Gastellum's team because there is no way in hell you could convince me that Cowboy wouldn't have done what Miller did to fight. Also Weidman's skull integrity

A truly great and historic event.
