Predictions: 8 of 10 Winners, 3 Perfect, 515 Points   |   Tied for 291st

Prelims kick off at approximately 730pm ET on UFC Fight Pass, followed by FOX Sports 1 prelims at 8pm and the main card on PPV at 10pm. 

Not quite "best card ever" material, but solid nonetheless.

Good luck!

I smell a split decision coming up hopefully in favor of Gomi who I thought clearly won rounds 1 and 2.

I have it 30-27 Gomi, but the fight was much closer than those scores let on. Early FOTN candidate.

Come on judges, please tell me there's no ******* way Gomi didn't get rounds 2 and 3! I gave him 1 too, but I'm bias as ****.

Next fight is 95/5% with nearly 1,600 people picking.  One of those fights where you have to get a perfect or you'll fall down the rankings.  PLEASE go to decision.
