Predictions: 4 of 10 Winners, 4 Perfect, 300 Points   |   Tied for 812th

The fighters are weighed in and both Johny Hendricks and Ray Borg missed weight. Both fights are still a go. 

We may have lost Velasquez-Werdum, but there are some great match-ups on this one along with a pair of extremely compelling title fights. 

We've got one prelim on UFC Fight Pass at 730pm ET followed by FS1 prelims at 8pm. The PPV main card, as always, airs at 10pm. 

Enjoy!

A grounded opponent is a fighter that has more than just the soles of their feet on the ground.

I rarely think of fighters as soon to be likely (with some confidence) top ten'ish contenders before they are really tested,but a few years ago I had Thatch in that group.What a buzzkill his career has been in the UFC.He just seemed like he had so much potential,then I hear that sound like when you let air out of a balloon lol.

I just realized that if this ppv does huge numbers, that will be Amada's 3rd straight massive ppv that she was on the main card for. Coincidence? #staywoke

Garcia looked bad even though he KO'ed Pyle into retirement. He just looks slow and a little sloppy and predictable.

Please tell me this was Mike Pyle's last fight. I can't watch that guy's ghost come out of his body any more times.

If this was Pyle's last fight, my hats off to him. He has maintained a career in the UFC for a long time. That is no small feat at his age. Big respect but at some point, the body just doesn't react like it needs to.

I think Pyle should call it a career. This has happened twice in a row, now.
