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.

Can they just make peace with Chael the in studio segments were so much better when he was around. Koscheck is terrible

@gunn, sadly Bader has the same problem Maynard has, he fell in love with the KO.

But not like Maynard, a few KTFO's reminded him he's also a wrestler and he doesn't go into full Anderson Silva strikemode, he actually uses basic striking fundamentals and resorts to his wrestling when it's clearly not working.

@cthulhu thank you for saying what I've thought every time they bring up that Bader has fought the best guys. Yeah and he gets his ass kicked every time yet he's still ranked #8? I think OSP has this.

I expect OSP to start gassing right about now with that wild style of his ... Bader will mid 3rd or 4th ...

Is anyone enjoying this fight? It's a frickin' streetfight for a UFC headliner ... no technique whatsoever ... except for the TDs and what exactly happens with them? Nothing.

Bader going full wrestling mode.  Smart on his part.

29-28 Bader after 3, we'll see if Ovince can adjust or if Bader gasses.

At least since Bader went back to wrestling this has turned into a UFC level fight.

For such a vaunted athlete OSP has awful TDD. He obviously knew that Bader was going to take him down.
