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!

@Anik about the only fight on the main card I'm excited for. Much more deserving co main event than the shower of **** we have later.

@Gunn fair enough, the way the UFC has been lately has made me more than cynical :P

I don't have a problem with gauging your earlobes, do whatever the **** you want to do, but being a fighter you'd think Fili is just causing himself a lot of unnecessary hassle actually getting them in the first place. He probably has them taped over more than he has the actual plugs in?

10 - 10

Fili had slightly more output but the quality of the strikes slightly leans towards Holloway.

That cross to the body that Fili does is horrible, he needs to get rid of that punch from his arsenal.

20-19 Holloway

Holloway clearly controlled the striking in that round, Fili is gassing a little bit and he's resorting to his wrestling but if he's going to throw a grand total of 0 strikes after taking him down, the takedown is useless.

Mulhall is terrible tonight.  Does he think the EliteXC 30 second standup rule is in effect?

Holy ****! Out of nowhere ... I didn't think he had a choke in tight yet ... I had it 19-19 in the first two rounds. Gomi/Ike still FOTN though.
