Predictions: 8 of 10 Winners, 0 Perfect, 430 Points   |   Tied for 182nd

The UFC comes to visit New Zealand for the first time. It will be a proud night for James Te Huna who headlines the card in front of his fellow Kiwis against a very well rounded veteran of MMA in Nate Marquardt.

Both fighters will be desperate to snap their losing streaks, Te Huna dropping down from LHW to 185lbs for the first time and Nate stepping back up to the MW division.

Prelims and Main Card will be on the UFC Fight Pass.

I'll be taking over resulting entering duties for this one due to Skelli being unavailable. Good luck with your picks!

Still a bit harsh though, no? I know it starts at 9:30am at mine, so that's 7:30am yours, right?

Ach - 7:30am is a long lie in for me - been up around 5:30am most of this week so far.
Michigan, it's not about me, it's about Te Huna :P

Will likely skip this event. 2am is just too early for me. Maybe I'll wake up in time for the main event.

Appreciate Ronwah taking over for me on this one. I may be up on account of being drugged up recovering from surgery, but in shape to run the FightCenter, I will not be.

Now that it's locked, I regret picking Dashon. Hmmm, Black Power.
