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.

With half the round left you feel Martin needs a finish now.

Have to feel for Martin a little. Against 90% of fighter he would have had a 1st round armbar UFC debut win.

good candidate for fight of the night, but'll probably lose to one from the main card.
Magomedov 29-28, but i could see how someone would give martin a 10-8 on the first.

Great fight for both fighters :)

Yeah, you said it. Martin would have gone 1-0 instead of 0-1 against any other. Amazing Rashid could use his arm after that.
