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!

@flOw _ The main reason why Dana prefers fighters who can finish fights dominantly is because they're easier to market since they could build up better highlight reals with the fight finishing footage.

It's baffling to think Johnson at one point in his career got tapped by Rich Clementi.

@flOw _, just saying I'm pretty sure Dana would rather Rumble as a contender than Phil ... definitely wasn't arguing a shot for Davis :)

@grizzlyedwin exactly the point I made at the end of my paragraph, he cares about what makes more MONEY. It's his job.

Picking Jones, rooting for Teixeira. I'm going to wake the neighbors if he KO's Jones.

Rumble being back in the UFC makes the light heavyweight division much better.

Now you can build up a fight with Cormier, Rumble and a rematch with Gus in the future.

Johnson looked great and this matchup ended up perfect for him.  Davis's tools were useless.  But I STILL believe that Johnson's ground game and cardio are going to be liabilities against different opponents in the top 10.

@Gregory Rumble proved he's improved his cardio a lot in this fight and he showed he's extremely tough to takedown.
