Predictions: 1 of 11 Winners, 0 Perfect, 50 Points   |   Tied for 1190th

This one kicks off on Fight Pass around 4pm ET, then moves over to FOX Sports 1 at 7pm. 

Not a lot of big names on the undercard, but hopefully we'll get some good fights. Then the hopefully-epic rematch!

Enjoy.

Same here Skelliher.  I love both guys, and I was incredibly torn on who to pick.  It's bittersweet to see Shogun get knocked out, I just hope Hendo retires now.

I don't know if I should be happy or sad. I did bet on Henderson and I did pick him to win, but he won on physical attributes alone. He fought a worse fight than Shogun did, but he has one of the best chins in the business and his right hand comes from the depths of hell.

Hendo vs Wanderlei rematch would be a good retirement fight to see, especially seeming both are fighting at LHW now.

I thought a few of those finishing blows from Hendo were to the back of the head, but I dont know if it really mattered after his nose was destroyed by those two shots. 
Dollaway looked great tonight, even better than he did against Boetsch (a fight I still believe he won). I'd like to see him take on someone a little higher up.

Crazy comeback, Hendo put everything into that punch. Sad to see Rua lose that way, especially after dominating the fight. I only wish he survived that and it went another 5 rounds. Great knockout either way, and I end the card 0-11. Sadface.

I'm not impressed with either guys. Think it's time for both to hang up the gloves now.

It didn't quite live up to expectations, but very cool of the UFC to put this fight on a televised card for us poorfolk. I still have no love for the promotion, but that was a classy move.

Crazy event.  I think more people got 1 out of 10 right than 7, 8, 9, or 10 out of 10 combined right.

My favorite thing about this event is that Mikelovestacos had Rua rd 3 KO, and the complete opposite happened.
