Predictions: 6 of 12 Winners, 1 Perfect, 325 Points   |   Tied for 1060th

I know you've missed me, my children, but I come back to you now, at the turn of the tide. 

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!

I love it, Dillashaw is doing his old-school monkey style striking and he's doing it well. He looks amazing out there.
