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.

Lopati, Georges was the WORST. Frankie at least had the size disadvantage excuse. He had to fight the way he did. Georges had all the ability in the world but was afraid to actually get into a fight and when the division caught up to him and he did have to, he quit

So far, I think all the losers shouldn't get another fight with the UFC. They should have to go to Invicta like Peggy and Roxy did.

This fight should be even but thanks to the RIDICULOUS scoring system it probably isn't.

No losers have impressed at all. If Ham loses they could give her a fight against someone like Chambers, or another smaller 115 and I would enjoy that.

@CthulhuJunoes All of the losers have been journey-women late in their careers. I'm starting to think that women's shelf life in MMA might tap out at 31-33 with mens being 35-38. Of course their will always be outliers

@Twister, I'm not sure it's a shorter shelf-life issue, I just think the new generation is a more evolved one.

It probably depends on the fashion in which they lose, considering that this is a major means to fleshing out the division. Unless someone turns in a heartless loss or looks completely lost, they should get at least one more fight.

Magana needs to get cut.  

I imagine Felice will need to lose 2-3 before she's back to Invicta.

One thing's for sure, Ham proved she belongs in the UFC, in this division and at the top half of it, imo.
