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.

30-27 ??? Seriously?

Get some newschool mma judges that atleast can think. So stupid that Takedowns with absolutely no damage at all can score so much.

If you get battered a whole round on the feet like Catone did, just complete one TD and you'll steal the round. GET OUT A' HERE!

Watson/Catone drained a lot of my excitement away... I hope Patrick Makdessi is good

Danny has a good hands to do a good fight. Why he want a takedown so much?  Not clich. Only grappling against the cage. No damage.
