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.

EXCELENT scoring by the last judge. He followed the textbook rules of a 10-8 round. I want to find out who he is, it is the first case of accurate 10-8 scoring I've ever seen. Also, he scored another 10-8 correctly in the Hester fight.

MMA needs more guys like him, he didn't miss a round until now.

@splashsergio He said 28-27, meaning he scored the first 10-8 for Al, the second 10-8 for Lee and the third 10-9 for Al.

The first round was in no way a 10-8 round. The guy got hurt once, that deserves a 10-8 round? ********.

if you downvote because your guy lost, and not because there is something wrong with what someone said, you should probably kill yourself

I don't undestand the judges 

First bout, two of them gave 30-27 for Magny, when it was 29-28 for Magny. 

Hester's fight, Enz win round 3 the judges screwed up again.

And now this.This is a ******* joke!!

In fairness none of those scores would have changed the outcome of the fights, so I'm not all that annoyed about it. I just hope it doesn't wind up costing someone on the main card, or worst yet in a title fight.
