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!

Fili/Holloway should be nuts. I've never seen either guy in a boring fight.

Agreed, it's a shame one of them will take a loss here. Really excited about their futures.

The whole evening I've had a gut feeling Phil Davis gonna get KTFO tonight and that I missed out on a dog pick.

Charlie Brenneman getting KTFO was giving me shockwaves. Had to cool down.

A big reason I picked Fili was the Leonard Garcia fight where he outstruck Holloway.

This should be a good fight either way.

@Gunn really you can't wait for Rumble/Davis? Fair enough I guess, but I think it's a piss poor match up. IMO Rumble hasn't earned the right. There's a serious lack of depth (or too many cards) for the UFC to make serious matches anymore. I bet the PPV numbers this year have been awful.

Is Holloway a young gatekeeper? Fighting McGregor, Poireir, Bermudez, and now Fili. He hasn't had a lot of easy fights.
