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

A thumbs up is not intelligent defence.
there was no fighting back, no attempt to improve position, no attempt to shut down the offence, no attempt to dynamically avoid the strikes.
He was taking unanswered shots without making an attempt to defend himself, you dont need to be unconscious for a tko

I actually am okay with the stoppage. When told to do something giving a thumbs up is not doing something other than acknowledging you heard me.

Herb Dean's the best ref in MMA, but I think he made a mistake calling the stoppage. Faber was intelligently defending himself by blocking with the left hand and holding Barao's leg. Punches to the glove, forearm, and shoulder doesn't warrant a stoppage.

- Trujillo's KO and his fight against Varner.
Worst of the night
- Overeem and Mir. Both fighter in bad streight, and they didn't do a decent performance.
- The judges. They screwed up all night. But scores and bad decisions. They changed their oppiniont in the event.
