Predictions: 8 of 12 Winners, 5 Perfect, 525 Points   |   Tied for 357th

Prelims kick off on UFC Fight Pass at 630pm ET followed by four televised prelims on FOX Sports 1 at 8pm and the Pay Per View main card at 10pm.

Two titles, a high-steaks heavyweight fight and some nice match-ups down the rest of the card should hopefully make for a solid night of MMA.

29-28 Watson...unpopular decision more than likely, but sorry, do damage instead of just taking a guy down and doing nothing with it.

Neither guy did much to win that fight.  I could see the judges scoring it 30-27 either way.

Watson should get the win here, Catone did next to nothing with the takedowns...

Catone did nothing with those takedowns, and Watson popped right up every time.

Yeah, the guy barely able to walk down the octagon steps and bleeding out of like 3 cuts in his face wins. Oh MMA judging you're hilarious at times.

if Overeem and Mir, Lineker and Bagautinov,Varner and Trujilo go to a decision this will be a reminisence of UFC Knockout

Catone is so boring. I really hope he faces someone with takedown defense and then gets punched in the face for the whole fight. Sucks Watson faces people who can take him down with little struggle, he's fun to watch.

Watson was trying hard not to be taken down by keeping good angles and didnt pull the trigger in anything other than those leg kicks.
and Catone did the only thing he can do.

anyone could have won, but ill get the points.

Lol. Watson dominated the stand up, popped right back up every single time he was taken down.. MMA judges are on that 'mmafan' juice.
