Predictions: 10 of 13 Winners, 3 Perfect, 620 Points   |   19th Place

UFC Fresno kicks off Saturday night at 630pm ET on UFC Fight Pass. The action then switches to FS1 at 8pm ET for the rest of the card. 

Nice one, here. Not huge names but great match-making and a lot of action fighters. 

It'll also air at the same time as the great ESPN boxing match between Lomachenko and Rigondeaux. 

Hopefully that glacial FS1 pacing times out right and we can see both.

I picked Moraes, but considering that I am in a neck and neck race with dielegende in Wagering League and he put $50k on Moraes, I hope that Aljo wins so I can pull further ahead in the standings.

Mike Beltran is a fail of a ref.
