Predictions: 8 of 10 Winners, 2 Perfect, 490 Points   |   Tied for 106th

UFC Fight Pass launches tomorrow morning, and with it, a solid card from Singapore featuring a bunch of newbies and some familiar faces. 

The action is set to kick off at 630am ET with all 10 bouts airing on the UFC's new digital network. 

From what I understand, the service will basically function like DVR, allowing you to rewind the broadcast at any point, pause it or come into the broadcast at any time. 

Prelims Broadcast (630am ET)

Main Card Broadcast (9am ET)

With an ass-crack of the morning start time, this will probably be a very lightly-picked event.  Time to climb the contest leaderboard!

Prelims start at 13:30 over here :)

By the way, watched the weigh-ins earlier ... Shimizu was awesomely weird(er than usual) and Soriano tried to get in Crusher's face, Crusher intensified gaze and Soriano immediately got that "oh ****, dafuq have I just done?" look on his face :)

EDIT:: This





Oh and Luis Dutra, who said he's going down to 155 after this needed a towel to make 171 ... good job buddy.

I've looked at this card over and over obsessively for a week now, I honestly don't think anyone will get more than 8 picks correct. There are so many live dogs.

I've picked 4 underdogs in this one, I'm hoping to get back on track from the last card in which I picked ONLY the fighters I wanted to win no matter what.  I went 2-9 on that godforsaken card.  
I'm waking up at 3:30 to watch this

I'm actually pretty confident with my picks ... the only one I'm not confident in is Kunimoto/Dutra (though after the weigh-ins I'm a bit more confident, Dutra looked all over the place a-la UFC 168's Brandao) ... I picked Lim to beat Tarec, but I'm pretty confident I'm getting that one wrong, so there you have it, 8/10, worst case scenario ;)

just do like celebs do on twitter.

It's going to be weird waking up at 4am for this but ive done it before for PXC and OneFC events so it shouldnt be too bad. Overall I like how the card is structured, the main event is kind of weak but Saffedine is technically a champ so I guess thats why.

Also one thing i like about fight pass so far is lots of Megan Olivi mmmm im so jealy of JoeB

I actually like a few fights on this card. Actually, I like most of he fights on this card. I hope to be up for it. If not, I'll catch a replay at some point.

Looks like a pretty solid card to me, I'm looking forward to seeing Doane after the fight with Papazian as well as Holloway returning and the debut of Kikuno. Lim is a beast, and Tarec has great technique so I think it will be a good main event.

Shimizu is a weird guy. He always has been. But hes very friendly with fans and very respectful to people.

Yossgold hit the nail on the head. Soriano tried to get in Kawajiri face and mean mug him (no blame, lots of fighters do it). But then Kawajiri gave him his psycho look like "kid im gonna **** you up something badly and you will be eating through a straw" Soriano saw that and kinda had a look like "Oh ****, what did i get myself into. This old japanese dude is gonna do a number on me, Shaaaaaad where are you???"

Call me racist but this card reminds me of pride.

Well, we all know you're a racist, so there's no need for the reiteration.

Nothing wrong with being racist, though.
