Predictions: 8 of 12 Winners, 5 Perfect, 525 Points   |   Tied for 357th

Prelims kick off on UFC Fight Pass at 630pm ET followed by four televised prelims on FOX Sports 1 at 8pm and the Pay Per View main card at 10pm.

Two titles, a high-steaks heavyweight fight and some nice match-ups down the rest of the card should hopefully make for a solid night of MMA.

@skell Did you really call it high-steaks? Now it all makes since. Ubereem isn't so uber right now because he's been waiting to fight for one of these:

Haha, wow. That's what late nights in the FightCenter do.

So what happens if Lineker wins? Who is there for him to face? Realistically, the winner of this matchup is right up there with Dodson. So I assume that's the next fight we'll see. But would they give Lineker a #1 contender fight after missing weight FOUR times in SIX fights? He's putting himself in one ****** up situation. I know he ended up making weigh within the hour given, but still. It seems pretty risky.

@Mike: It certainly is risky, but 125 is in serious need of contenders, much like 135. 45 is starting to come into it's own. They need to take what they can get.

I'm feeling confident in my picks. Which of course means I'll go 3 for 12.

Picks I'm not confident in: Varner & Iaquinta. I'm going with experience over potential in both of them but have a gut feeling they're both going to lose.

Well you picked him to KO in the 3rd, I think that he's going to be gassed as **** if it reaches the 3rd ... in fact, since the weigh-ins I've been thinking about changing my pick from 3SUB to 2SUB ... if Lineker takes this it'll only be if he gets a KO in the 1st, imo ... he's had a terrible cut (actually forced to make the 126 limit this time) and looked drained as **** after ...

@mmawizzard I'm with you. I missed the early prelims to the last two events because they weren't on YouTube. Is fight pass the only way now to watch them?

Fight pass is the only way to watch them. I have the free trial and the Krylov and Harris fight was blacked out for me. UFC...where we **** with what's been working.

@Cthulhu, last event the FFP fights were also on FB ... I don't know if it was a one-time thing or they forgot to stop streaming there, but I'd recommend checking when they start ...

EDIT:: I meant UFN 35 ... I missed the last event's prelims ...
