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!

Clarke was on his way to free agency...he's been outmatched in every fight in UFC, ******* Al gave that one away. SMH.

Al really needs to just box with his opponents. He always puts himself in trouble, but should easily be able to outbox his latest competition.

I think Chico might get the upset. He has more experience.
