It may not be the UFC 137 you were expecting, but it's still UFC 137, dammit!

The next installment of the popular Ultimate Fighting Challenge comes to us live tonight from fabulous Las Vegas, Nevada, with a tantalizing main event between Nick Diaz and BJ Penn.

Things are scheduled to kick off first at 6:15pm eastern time (final time still unknown) for 4 prelims on Facebook.com/UFC.  Then at 8:00 eastern time you can catch a pair of excellent fights on Spike TV. Finally at 9:00pm eastern time, plunk down your hard earned dollars to watch the Pay Per View main card.

Your prediction results and leaderboard ranking will automatically show up in any posts made here. If you want to embed your full listing of picks you can do that also.   Your picks, as well as a link to embed the image, and the top of the site-wide leaderboard will all be available in the right column on this thread.

Enjoy the fights and good luck in your predictions! 

REMINDER: No requesting of or posting links to illegal streams of the Pay Per View broadcast.

REMINDER 2: as a courtesy to those not watching Bellator until later, please do not post spoilers in this thread.

The hardest picks, in my opinion were Camozzi vs. Carmont and Siver vs. Cerrone.

I'm still looking forward to a good card, from top to bottom. Kind of like how everyone thought 133 would suck ass, but then was pretty good.

Even without GSP/Condit, it's still a fantastic card. I agree with xbassistdoodx, Cerrone vs. Siver and Camozzi vs. Carmont were the toughest fights to pick. Pretty much all the fights tonight can go either way if you think about it. Some very exciting and competitive fights on tonght's card.

This is my favorite kind of card. Competive and exciting matchups. Even though there are no title fights or official #1 contender fights a few of these fights put the winner a fight or 2 from a title shot.
