Predictions: 10 of 13 Winners, 6 Perfect, 675 Points   |   10th Place

The fighters are weighed in and we're set for a solid night of fights on Big FOX.

Will Weidman break the streak? Will Gastelum become an insta-contender at 185 lbs? Will Elkins continue to defeat men he has no right to beat?

Look at this event in this is actually better than I originally thought. It has a lot of good middle tier fighters in it

Good victory for Mr. Wade.

Totally deserved but let's hope better fights will come tonight.

Pepey needs to stop pulling guard.  I understand he wants to go to the ground, but he may get a point deduction for timidity.

20-18 or 20-17 Burgos.  Burgos is putting up a striking clinic.
