Predictions: 4 of 11 Winners, 3 Perfect, 275 Points   |   Tied for 894th

The fighters are weighed in and (almost) everyone hit their mark. 

Prelims kick off on UFC Fight Pass at 6pm ET, followed by televised prelims on FS1 at 7pm and finally the main card on FS1 at 9pm. 

This is basically the best of TUF 20 in one night, and we'll see a new champion crowned. 

Not a bad way to kick off the weekend.

It seems a WSOF contract rarely stands in the way of someone being signed by the UFC.

I think Aguilar said on the MMA Hour that she signed a four fight contract with WSOF, she already fought three times for them, and is supposedly going to be fighting again in April.

That works well with the timeline of Carla vs. Gadelha/Joanna in about April/May, then have JAG come straight into the UFC with a tittle shot September/October. By that time hopefully JoJo can win two more times and be in line to fight for the belt then.

I don't share the JAG enthusiasm nor think Carla will hold the belt for long. Pretty sure Joanna and Gadelha are the present and Rose is the future.

The NC means KJ & Cruickshank should probably rematch and I'd choose the winner of Holloway/Miller for Do Bronx, Stephens vs. Peralta, Medeiros vs. Vick, & Proctor vs. Tuck for their next matchups.

Oh, and JoJo/Ham should've won FOTN.

Kind of weird how we're getting penalized for predicting the Cruickshank/Noons fight in both overall percentages and specific fighter predictions.  Not really a big deal but it's not like there's an option to choose a no-contest.

You aren't being punished.  No contests aren't counted as a win or a loss.

@dtrain, is there were an option would you actually use it? Would you pick a fight to end in a no contest?

No contests aren't factored into your picking percentage and as for your overall picking record of a fighter, seriously, would you have picked this fight as a no contest? Because if not (and I'm pretty sure we both know the answer is that you wouldn't), you're not penalized, you would've got the "loss" on your Cruickshank picking record anyway.
