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)

Banning 12-6 elbows is stupid

The 12-6 elbow rule is utter BS. Those two points are really going to affect Kang.

Can you give Shimizu a translator so he doesn't have to try and figure out *** Percival is saying to him?

So he stopped the fight to tell Kang that it was a good kick...

Wow so a 10 point must...Shimizu auto wins 10-8, SMH. Should be 9-8 Kang...Kang still won easily.

@fglop

Well sorry if it sounded like I discredited him, I just don't think he's going far up the rankings.

Let's not pretend like others including you haven't discredited fighters though.

@mikeyg

I mean yeah a lot of fighters get discredited but in this specific circumstance it seems like a rather irrational discrediting of Holloway based off the Garcia fight, especially when he looked really impressive against Chope.

But the thing is, I don't agree he looked that great, that's why I said what I said about him. And I don't put much stock in looking great against low-tier competition (which Garcia is himself) even if I concede that he "looked impressive" it's impressive against Will Chope, not an elite striker. And why should we discredit fights of the past, they definitely matter. It's not like Max has gotten leaps and bounded better, he's still the same fighter he was when he was 20, just more refined.
