Fights begin at around 6pm eastern, and then the Facebook prelims begin at 7:30pm eastern.  Spike TV broadcast at 10:00pm eastern.  And then tape-delayed on the West Coast (so don't come around here once the main card starts, if you don't want to see spoilers.

Discuss the fights here as they happen for the event overall, or head to the individual bout prediction threads if you want.  Bout prediction threads:
Nik Lentz vs Waylon Lowe
Aaron Simpson vs Mario Miranda
Johny Hendricks vs TJ Waldburger
Sean McCorkle vs Christian Morecraft
Michael McDonald vs Edwin Figueroa
John Hathaway vs Kris McCray
Mackens Semerzier vs Alex Caceres
Jon Madsen vs Mike Russow
Leonard Garcia vs Chan Sung Jung 2
DaMarques Johnson vs Amir Sadollah
Anthony Johnson vs Dan Hardy
Antonio Rogerio Nogueira vs Phil Davis


Embed your predictions for the entire event here if you want, and they'll update as the fights take place (maybe with a little bit of delay).  It's a little confusing how to embed them, so here are some instructions.

1) Go to this page, which is my own predictions:  Greg's UFN 24 Picks
2) In the URL on top, replace "gregory" with your own tapology name
3) On the bottom, copy the "image" tag like this: http://www.tapology.com/ue/6910.png
4) Back here when making your forum post, click the little "IMG" button and paste it in
5) Click preview first to make sure you've got it

Yeah it's a pain in the ass. We're going to make it way easier at some point.  Good luck on the fights, I'm pumped up!

Went against Johnson mainly because of the weight cut.  Who would have thought he would have fought stratigically and exploited Hardy's glaring weakness, no ground game.

My only hope is that it's going to be a terrible decision. :-(

People shouldn't be blaming Johnson for this. Hardy is doing nothing on the ground, and can't defend takedowns at all. Don't blame Johnson for taking the best path to victory, and actually having a gameplan.

ughh, this wasn't what I hoped for. Hardy's takedown defense was non-existent.  Not surprised that Johnson man-handled him from top position. But I am surprised that Hardy could do nothing to avoid being put there.

I'm not blaming Johnson, I think it shows growth as a fighter to have a sound game plan and stick with it.  He should still move up to at least middleweight for health reasons alone.

@minotauro i felt the same way last weekend with jones/shogun.  felt more like i was going to have a heart attack rather than throw up, though.
