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!

Take the flying knee away and that fight was a school yard brawl Leonard Garcia would've been proud of.

Beal never specified what God he was talking about. Maybe Beal's god is Ares or Khorne. They would for sure support jamming a  knee into someone's skull.

I say bring James Toney back to the UFC for one more fight and have him fight Chuck.

I can already see it....

I don't think Beal should get performance of night. Sure the KO was amazing, but aside from that all he did was throw wild bombs like there was no tomorrow.

If he gets POTN bonus based on that, then yeah, that's a horrible idea for a bonus and they really need to bring back the old platform for bonuses.

The fact that Brenneman fought Anthony Johnson just blows my mind

Anthony Johnson sure blew Brenneman's mind.

With his shin.

To his face.

Yeaaaaaaaaaaah. That's the joke. Thanks for coming.

I feel kind of stupid for picking Castillo now and I think he's going to grind out a win from what I'm seeing. Knew Charlie had better wrestling, just thought Castillo was better all around.

You shouldn't be ashamed of picking Castillo, he's a very good fighter.
