Predictions: 4 of 10 Winners, 2 Perfect, 250 Points   |   Tied for 885th

Prelims are set to stream on Facebook at 5pm ET followed by a quality six-fight main card on FOX Sports 1.

Had a few shaky-looking fighters at weigh-ins today, so pick lines might be changing. Seems like there are quite a few bouts with serious upset potential on this card, right through to the main event.

I don't care what anyone says, Maia has never looked the same since Nate Marquardt knocked him out in 21 seconds...that was his game changing fight, he's so conservative now. All that really does is hurt him against other world class grapplers

Th. Was a terrible card for me. I thought there wouldn't be more than one upset on the whole card. That worked out pretty well for my picks....

Why didn't Palhares get SOTN? Also man I can't believe T.J broke the Team Alpha Male streak.

Unsportsmanlike conduct;  Still it was literally the only submission that happened on the card so at least deduct the bonus to 30,000 or 25,000 instead of just not giving one.

I think that was a good move not giving him a bonus. Especially since this is the 2nd time he's done it. The UFC has said multiple times that fighter safety is their primary concern. No bonus proves it.

for me Palhares not letting go MIke's leg is (kind of)  the equivalent of Daely hitting Koscheck after the fight ended, and this being the 2nd time they should cut Palhares, that guy is not gonna stop acting like this or he would've done it by now, this is the 4th time he does **** like that.

I personally didnt think it was that bad, yes he held on after Pierce tapped but he was waiting on the ref to make sure the fight was over (to avoid another big da fuqq moment) he held on maybe a second late after the ref came in.

While one could argue Palhares is ******** but not malicious and that its unintentional, what Daley did was entirely intentional but he only did it once while Palhares has a history of this and ripping a leg apart is far more concerning than getting popped after the bell.

I agree, at this point Palhares is a liability and its only a matter of time until he ruins someones career unjustifiably. I see Palhares getting knocked out a lot at 170 his jaw must be like a gram cracker with the cut.

Just finished watching the fights and OH BOY what a wash for me, 3 outta 10 is bad really bad. Even if TJ and Beltran would have not been screwed, 5 outta 10 is still bad.

I also lost all my hard earned virtual money in the betting game on top of that Maia one of my favorites lost his chance for another title shot, Erick Silva got Dong slapped hard, I really like him too but the worst of all I could have won like 500 bucks with a killer parlay if Beltran would have won that decision...which he did!!!!

But hey at least I have a new awesome avatar for a week!

Seriously **** THIS CARD!!!!

Give Paul Harris his god damn bonus money. ---- He's gonna need it when they cut him. 

@condit The judges broke Team Alpha Males streak. TJ won that fight

Patrick has a future in horror movies. I thought both he and Whitely showed at least a little promise.

Goodbye Santos. 

Wonder how Cabral will do vs. someone with decent tdd. 

Good thing Alcantara already had some wins cuz that was ugly.

Dillashaw & Beltran won I thought. 

Not sure how I feel about Palhares. If they're really pissed at him, match him up with Shields or Maia.

Thiago looked like **** but Hamill has heart and a helluva chin.

Thought Erick Silva was on his way to a comeback win. Wow! Very impressed by Kim's KO and I disagree with him: there's no such thing as a lucky punch.

I'll watch all of Shields/Maia tonight cuz I fell asleep :)  Serious about that though.
