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.

Thanks guys. Wait till Brock comes back to fight someone. I like Stipe/Overeem because Stipe has some momentum and Alistair needs to get on a streak for a title. JDS would destroy him and erase another challenger for Cain.

I wish Aldo was more popular among casual fans, he just hasn't been WEC Aldo yet. Also language barrier doesn't help.

EDIT Besides the Mendes fight.

No, I think immediately after the fight he said he thought Johnny won. Then I heard someone say he changed his mind about it on his podcast but I didn't see or hear that.

Does anyone else find it confusing that in the UFC's ranking system, the champion is "C" and the number one contender is "#1"  ??

I don't like it...

@ZackGrendel. Apparently that's been happening a lot, and it's absolute ********. Do everything in your power to get a refund. When you pay for an overpriced PPV, the least your provider can do is make sure it ******* works.

Why Lamas isn't trying to take him down is beyond me.. Atleast clinch **** him. Do something. Credit to him for standing with a guy like Aldo but that wont win you the fight.

Pretty much what I expected so far. Aldo is by far the better striker. The only thing working for Lamas are the jabs.
