Predictions: 6 of 12 Winners, 1 Perfect, 325 Points | Tied for 1060th
Prelims kick off on UFC Fight Pass around 630pm ET followed by Prelims on FS1 at 8pm and the PPV main card at 10pm.
Quite a good card, even if the headliner looks mildly underwhelming on paper.
Enjoy!

Anyway, seeing what Barao can do to Dillashaw should at least be interesting.

Sometimes when I don't hope really high hopes for a card, it ends up delivering some pretty good fights. Hopefully that will happen tonight.

Should be a pretty solid card. Could've been great with the Machida V Weidman fight, but I'm not going to complain.
