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'm loving this card, bringing Jitz back to MMA big time ... fighters have been too keen on position over submission lately.

Those are such dumb names to continuously call out.

Rockhold wants Vitor to prove that TRT was the reason Vitor won but the only way Belfort will accept, if he accepts at all, is if the fight is in Brazil.......where he can use TRT.

As far as Bisping... It would be an interesting match up but Rockhold beat Kennedy who soundly beat Bisping. That doesn't mean that Bisping wouldn't win but it's a step back at this stage.

Either Romero now or winner of Gegard vs Munoz if he wants to wait a bit.....

If KO and SUB of the night awards were still active, man would Dana and the team have a hard time deciding.

"I want a rematch with Jacare."


Rockhold would win again. Jacare hasn't improved, he's still all about that right hand ala Hendo. great ground  game but getting Rockhold down and keeping him there is a tough task.

@Delrose- me too, but it's still a compelling fight. Both have improved since their last meeting.

@jaffacake, Brazilian commission has already said they're following NASC's lead. Hendo/Shogun was the last card where TRT was going to be allowed.

@michigandolphin Doubt it. Rumble has great wrestling too.

@flOw _ They'd probably be bummed they'd have to shell out so much cash in bonuses since they would probably what they've done on other cards and award them out to most of them since they were all amazing like they have previously.

@AllHailKrull Jacaré has improved a lot since his fight with Rockhold. He used to solely rely on his grappling skills to win fights since his stand up wasn't that great, but he's improved his stand up a lot. His grappling skills are so good that it would be hard for him to improve in that aspect.
