Predictions: 8 of 13 Winners, 1 Perfect, 440 Points   |   Tied for 919th

Fight Pass prelims starts at 315pm ET, followed by more prelims on FOX Sports 1 at 5pm and the main card at 7pm. 

Lots of relative unknowns on this card, but some nice match-ups capped off by an interesting main event. 

Will Bisping's right eye work? Is Cote all done? How long will Akira last?

Half of the 26 UFC fights going down this week kick off Wednesday night.

Akira isn't very smart, he had Poirier hurt, that as his opportunity to win and he was passive.

Good uppercut but it seemed like Corassani just gave up.

Surprised that Akira was able to hurt Dustin, that first round was crazy.  In the end he couldn't handle the pressure and Dustin capitalized and put him away.  25 years old but an extremely calm and composed veteran.

Give Dustin a top 10 guy PLEASE!!!! A rematch with KZ would be awesome or a fight with Ricardo Lamas would be a good test.

Poirier's got all the skills to be champ, but he shows a lack of poise in some of his fights and his defense leaves something to be desired. That will continue to be exploited by the top contenders in the division. 

Would love to see Poirier vs. McGregor.

Remember when Brookins was hurting Poirier with punches? Poirier is good, young, solid redord and wins, overall.pretty stellar fighter but never contender material. He's overrated.
