Predictions: 8 of 10 Winners, 2 Perfect, 490 Points   |   Tied for 106th

UFC Fight Pass launches tomorrow morning, and with it, a solid card from Singapore featuring a bunch of newbies and some familiar faces. 

The action is set to kick off at 630am ET with all 10 bouts airing on the UFC's new digital network. 

From what I understand, the service will basically function like DVR, allowing you to rewind the broadcast at any point, pause it or come into the broadcast at any time. 

Prelims Broadcast (630am ET)

Main Card Broadcast (9am ET)

Dutra is kind of a jerk, I'm glad he got DQ'd

He started crying for himself and could care less about the guy he illegal elbowed

That's really hard to watch.  So blatantly illegal and could seriously have hurt him.

@dielegende I could understand if one missed and got him and he couldn't continue, but come on man he blatantly hit him with at least three solid elbows to the back of the head.  If that's not a DQ then what is?

Because by that reasoning then anyone who is losing a fight should just kick the dude in the nuts repeatedly to get a NC instead of a loss.

I feel bad for Besouro, but those elbows were clearly illegal. What makes it worse is that Luiz looked like the better fighter in the early going. 

On a happier note though, Kawajiri's up next! War Crusher!!!

browne strikes a legal area, or atleast a good proportion are legal, theres a few to the back of the head due to movment but its not seen as the intention. and throws with a more horizontal angle meaning back of the head is only hit if they turn away.
there was almost no way any of those could have been intended to be legal blows.

@mikeyg How the hell the guy is kind of a jerk? Have you ever listened to what he says in his interviews? The dude is awesome, has a great life story, gave up everything to fight,. He was one of the favorites to win TUF Brazil and got cut because of an injury. He was crying because, although that was blatantly illegal, it was his dream to finally get there and it ended because of a stupid move.

For Travis Browne or Cote those elbows would be legal. I don't understand how much distance there is between referees's thoughts

I just woke up in time for the co-main, which is what I was hoping for.

Also just curious, how many people are actually watching this on Fight Pass?
