Predictions: 7 of 10 Winners, 4 Perfect, 515 Points   |   Tied for 32nd with 10 others

Prelims kick off on FS2 (annoying) at 8pm ET followed by the main card on FS1 at 10pm. 

Don't miss the early fights, as they're some of the better ones on an overall decent card. 

Hope they keep Koscheck off the broadcast, though ... his desk work during the weigh-ins was truly cringeworthy.

Damn, for once I went with my brain not my heart, but I don't even care. Boetsch is a savage. Feel bad for Tavares though, he looked good.

Ugh... Every time Boetsch fights I am left with the impression that he is bad. Like... Really bad. Not UFC caliber at all. He keeps his job because he is INCREDIBLY lucky. He lost that fight against Lombard. He lost that fight against Dollaway. And now he gets a knockout out of a lucky punch.

Tim Boetsch vs. Weidman, after the barbarian wins I think he should get a superfight with Jones.

Pearson is slowly becoming a great fighter, but I honestly think Maynard should be the favorite here.

I'm not a "fan" of Maynard, but I'd really like to see him get back on track. I will **** if he finishes Pearson.

Maynard's striking and head movement look much improved. Somethings going right at power MMA, first Dollaway and Maynard with striking improvements. Maybe Bader will prove something in the main.

Been knocked silly in my last two fights? Will fight this striker with KO power with my hands down and chin up ... will also not wrestle him a lot.
