Predictions: 8 of 13 Winners, 1 Perfect, 440 Points   |   Tied for 919th

Fight Pass prelims starts at 315pm ET, followed by more prelims on FOX Sports 1 at 5pm and the main card at 7pm. 

Lots of relative unknowns on this card, but some nice match-ups capped off by an interesting main event. 

Will Bisping's right eye work? Is Cote all done? How long will Akira last?

Half of the 26 UFC fights going down this week kick off Wednesday night.

It's a close fight I could see it even going into the 3rd, hard to score.

De La Torre should be proud. Bocek has only lost to legit dudes, and he had good fights with just about all of them. He made it a fight.

That card is weak, that idea of doing more events is not working, UFC should distribute their events in 12 PPV's and 12 or less minor cards in the year, for better events, in the past the events were better because they have amazing names and match-ups to distribute in their events now is not the same.

1st & 3rd to Bocek, seems pretty clear to me. 

2nd could've gone either way.

As a guy who picked Bocek (and was rooting for him), De La Torre got robbed. Bocek did zero damage in the last two rounds while De La Torre kept ******* him up.

Bocek had his back for the last 30 seconds, that's what the judges are going to remember.

I've got Ropp by TKO Round 1 or Kimura by liver failure due to severe weight cut.

Seriously, how is Roop alive?

I like Kimura and I hope he wins, but I see Roop coming out with the tko.  Kimura's standup has looked really weak in all of his UFC fights, and Roop will capitalize.
