Other

- A light heavyweight rematch between former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Mauricio Rua and Ovince Saint Preux was expected to headline this event. The pairing met previously at UFC Fight Night: Shogun vs. Saint Preux in November 2014 where Saint Preux defeated Rua via knockout in the fight's opening minute. On September 16, Rua withdrew from the fight due to a knee injury and was replaced by former UFC Middleweight Championship challenger Yushin Okami on September 16.
- At the weigh-ins, Mizuto Hirota missed the featherweight limit of 146 pounds, coming in at 150 pounds. As a result his bout with Charles Rosa was changed to a catchweight and the fight is expected to proceed as scheduled. Subsequently, Hirota was fined 30% of his purse.

First impression of the match-ups:

• OSP > Okami
• Gadelha > Andrade
• Kim > Gomi
• Saki > Silva
• Dy > Ishihara
• Hirota > Rosa (Hirota missed weighed and weighed-in at 150 pounds; he looked tired and defeated on the scale)
• Nakamura > Morono
• Formiga > Sasaki
• Kondo > Jeon
• Jumeau > Anzai
• Abe > Lim

Hirota missed weight and is off the card due to health and safety issues.

First fight is at 5pm PST / 8pm EST.

Bet on Abe and Nakamura. No idea who Abe even is but I just really wanted to fade low fight IQ Lim

I'll be home for the 2nd fight on the prelims. Still at work...

Lim/Abe goes to decision after closing at -610 ITD

Saki vs. Silva was CRAZY while it lasted! xD

Looks like Gomi told the referee to stop the fight as soon as he gets dropped so he can collect his $55k check and retire in his home country.

Thanks for the wars over the years, Gomi.

Welp...

At least Okami didn't take any damage.

Easy payday, and he lives to fight another day.

I won the money on Andrade, and lost a bit of it betting on a some fuckboys.

It was a shitty card for betting. I'm just glad it was on a Friday, so my Saturday is free.

2nd Von Flue in a row?

Don't you have to be pretty terrible to get choked by that?

Like what are you doing with your free hand, why is it no doing anything
