Predictions: 8 of 10 Winners, 3 Perfect, 515 Points   |   Tied for 291st

Prelims kick off at approximately 730pm ET on UFC Fight Pass, followed by FOX Sports 1 prelims at 8pm and the main card on PPV at 10pm. 

Not quite "best card ever" material, but solid nonetheless.

Good luck!

It's kind of impossible to have 6 submission wins and be 7-0 when you have 6 decision wins and 1 knockout to your name.

KOTN sadly seized to exist.

If not, then there'd be 2 contender tough to beat.
