Predictions: 8 of 12 Winners, 5 Perfect, 575 Points   |   Tied for 608th

The fighters (all but one) have weighed in and we're set for what is still a quality night of fights in Houston, Texas. Every bout, from the first prelim straight through to the main event has some sort of storyline or interesting dynamic worth paying attention to. I think the match-ups favor high-paced affairs for quite a few of them as well. 

Prelims kick off on UFC Fight Pass at 630pm ET before switching over to FS1 at 8pm. As always, the PPV main card touches down at 10pm. 

This is what we do and why we do it, baby!

WE RollinnnNNnnnNNNNNN ... YEAH!

Losing Hendricks vs Woodley definitely hurts this card a lot. It should still be a pretty good night of fights though.

every fight excites me on every card.
idk why, i'm just that hardcore of a fan i guess.

i'm excited to see Namajunas back in there after losing the title fight and a long lay off.
i'm excited to see Northcut just because of the "Looking For a Fight" show.
i'm excited to see Evans back after a long break.
i'm excited to see if anyone but Mighty Mouse can beat Benavidez, prob not.
i'm excited to see Pena take another step towards the title.
i'm excited to see fighters like Yair Rodriguez and Ruslan Magomedov, just cause i like them.
i'm excited to see what Martins can do against the undefeated newcomer.
i'm excited to see the beast Lewis.

who don't love fight night?

Man, I just re-watched Jones vs Gustafsson. What a great fight. I can't wait for Jones to get back in the cage.

He may not be an upstanding citizen, but I think the worst crime he's committed was depriving the fans of seeing the best fighter in the world fight (not being serious....but seriously I can't wait to see him fight again.)

This card has so many 50/50s (at least in my eyes), Pettis/Cariaso, Martins/Makhachev, Tumenov/Jouban, Rondriguez/Hooker, Joe B/Bagautinov, Shad/Bader (on account of Shad being on the other side of his 30s and post loooong layoff), I love these kinds of card (even though I tend to suck at picking them)!

@yoss  I'm not sure I would put Benavidez/Bagautinov in the 50/50 column.  Sure, Bagautinov was tearing through 125 before he lost to Mighty Mouse.  But also keep in mind that he has had a year long layoff, thanks to testing positive for EPO, and I'm somewhat skeptical if he is the same fighter since he got caught.  Not saying that Bagautinov doesn't have skills to be a top fighter in the division, but I wonder how much that EPO helped him as a fighter and if his performance will suffer.

Yeah that's what determibed my outcome of the fight. I will have joey winning no matter what. I was either picking sub 1 or giving ali the Benoit of the doubt and going decision.
