Predictions: 10 of 13 Winners, 1 Perfect, 580 Points | Tied for 375th

The fighters are weighed in and everyone but Dern hit the mark. (She missed by 7 lbs this time.)

This card has flown under the radar, but it's growing on me by the hour. Maybe it's just because there's been a dearth of quality cards in the last couple months.

Prelims kick off on UFC Fight Pass at 615pm ET before switching to FX at 8pm.

The PPV main card, as always, touches down at 10pm.

Enjoy!

Dern was the curviest woman I've ever seen make 115. Should've been at 125 the whole time.

This card isn't that good TBH. It's got a strong middle but the flagship fights don't interest me apart from gastelum vs Souza.

I don't know why people are so excited for that match-up. Jacare will more than likely cruise to a unanimous decision. Cezar clowns Roberson. But John Lineker & Zaleski Dos Santos on the same card? Worth $60 alone.

Gastelum vs Jacare will be interesting because I'm.not sure what jacare does if he can't get it to the mat, and there's a good chance he won't be able to.

Kelleher vs linekar, the albini, mina, and leites fights are the.picks of.the litter IMO. Might be some money to be made on Kelleher by decision, not sure what that's paying but is probably worth a punt.

No interest in seeing Machida vs Belfort at Metamucilweight really and Nines vs Pennington is a guppy feed.

Like I say, it's a good card save for the mains. Not worth 60 quid to me anyway.

If he can't get it to the ground he'll strike with Gastelum and most likely win the exchanges. Oh, KO'ing a 1-eyed man makes you an elite striker now? Or Tim Kennedy lmfao.

Gastelum isn't a great striker but he's got very good hand speed, good power and a pretty nifty pocket attack. He has muxh better cardio than Souza. Gasman should rightly be the dog but its still a risky fight for souza.

Kelleher by decision is +400.....

I remember people picking Gastelum to KO Weidman. Close but no cigar. Kelvin think's he is Conor all of the sudden. Look at his posture and shot selection.

That's Kellehers only path of victory. He can't KO the un-KO-able and what he's gonna SUB John? no.

I nearly went with Gastelum in the weidman fight but then it occured to.me that even thougjh weidman's boxing defense is ****, he's also a really tough son of a ***** so I picked him by UD.

Let's not forget that knuckles sparked jacare. Is Gastelum as good of a striker? No.

I dunno.You're probably right. It's just a gut pick. I may simply need to take a dump.

Bochnovic was completely outclassed in what is supposed to be his strongest area.

Emeev has good timing and angles. Can see him picking up a Ko here.

Emeev controlling everything so far, up 2-0 and likely on his way to a UD.
