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!

But people who say Barao is the best striker in the world or a better striker than Aldo are ******* stupid.

Watching this fight is making me realize this: If Cruz and Barao fought, Cruz would be dominating. He's quicker than Dillashaw, a better wrestler, more unorthodox with his strikes and just as good with angles.
