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!

O'Connell doing better than I expected.

Not an easy fight to score. If I had to guess I'd say Villante is down on the scorecards because I picked him.

10-10 R1. 
10-9 OC R2. 

Weird call to sell this fight as a technical battle between cardio machines by Florian, though. When I prefer the brutal honesty of Jimmy Smith.

I think Villante had the 3rd. This could be a SD.

Close enough that I can't complain, especially the first round.  Plus it helps my picks.

wow horrible dec. I thought o'connell clearly won the first 2, i gave the third to villante. O'Connell had more controll, was more agressive, got the only knockdown and outlanded villante 135 strikes to 90

I find it hard to watch lower limb sub attempts. I think they are fascinating - but they just look gnarly.

Wow, being so persistent on those sub attempts sure backfired

Not sure about that stoppage. Entwistle didn't do himself any favours by not letting go of the sub attempt and trying to improve his position though.
