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.

Dontbescared, good question about Mcmann. The way the UFC puts their cards together makes no sense to me at times. Jack May and Shawn Jordan is a main card fight, and Formiga and Fun Size is a prelim. I think they try to sprinkle the "good fights" in at strategic locations to keep people viewing.

At what point do you just train and gameplan specifically to fight from guard? This seems like a good place to start.

As someone with a level 54 witch doctor I frown upon this ultimate evil edition only being for next gen consoles. I'm broke you ****holes, but I still wanna fight against the reaper. Blue Oyster Cult taught me not to fear him.

Murphy just tries to stay busy from her back. McMann lands big shota but needs to pick up the pace.

This is one of those fights that's kinda odd to score. Positioning is clearly being controlled by McMann, but Murphy has outlanded her at an over 2 to 1 clip on ground strikes.

 Mcmann is clearly controlling the fight.  This is what bothers me at times in MMA. People complain about how great wrestlers will lay in their guards and control them.  How about not getting put on your back?  little pitty patty strikes off your back should not win you a fight nor should just throwing up your legs for a triangle attempt either. If you want to win a fight off your back you have to be threatening with serious submission attempts, sweeps, and always getting up.

Uh, Lauren Murphy may have seriously just stolen this fight. I wouldn't be surprised at all if her activity from her back in the first two rounds got her one of those rounds, and she clearly won the third.

Regardless of who gets the win, Murphy proved she belongs in the UFC.  Can't wait to see her against someone who isn't the best wrestler in WMMA.

I gave Murphy the 3rd round. I think it should be 29-28 McMann but wouldn't be shocked to see a judge give credit to some of those ground strikes in the first.

I score it 29-28 Murphy and I picked McMann by decision. There's a fine line to me between effective wrestling/grappling and just laying on top of someone while they beat the **** out of you.

@Cthulhu i was just thinking the same thing. She landed a dirty **** ton of elbows from the bottom in the first two round
