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!

Decent win for Carmouche. She is on a nice roll.  Wonder who she will fight next at 135 next.

@MegaDave, so you would have picked him if he had drained himself another 7 pounds?

Makes no sense, honestly. He'd be more drained wouldn't he...

Crazy that people used to talk about Alves as this huge welterweight and he's a tad smaller than a 155er he outweighed by 5lbs who's contantly been pestered about going down to 145.

Also, Miller looks WAY faster ... repeatedly tagging Alves

10-9 Miller

But if Thiago keeps up the pressure he had there at the end of the round, the 2nd could go differently.

While he is landing some good shots, Alves looks slow as ****.
