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.

Close fight, but it should be a Cariaso win.

Hopefully the overwhelming striking advantage wins Cariaso the fight. I personally don't put any stock in pushing a fighter against the cage.

I've always been a fan  of Watson but honestly he's 1-3 in the UFC and needs to go back to BAMMA.
