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!

When has a long-time champion ever been so thoroughly dominated in a fight by a challenger? This is impressive, I can't wait for Cruz/Dillashaw if that ever happens. Both of them ******s would be confused.

Guys, the sherdog page shows Barao as the winner. I´m sure they will change it in minutes, but still. WOW!. Really goes to show how unexpected this was. The people at Sherdog were so primed to update Barao with the victory that they made a mistake

First of all, odds-wise, is this the second greatest championship upset of all time? First being Serra/GSP? Only other one I can think of that was even close was Penn/Edgar I.
Just a crazy fight, I was pulling hard for Dillashaw but really didn't see it happening. He believed in himself though and that's really what mattered, and he backed it up for sure. ******* awesome fight, Dillashaw is a BEAST
