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!

yeah, 29-28 Vaculik... 30-27 was downright impossible, though. pretty clear 3rd round to the filipino.

I think vaculik needs to do more training and less surfing. No reason he couldnt sub a guy that has extremely limited bjj and wrestling. Once some of these philipino and chinese fighters develope ground games to go along with their heavy kicking attack, they are gonna be a *****. Right now they are just light years behind on the ground. Although this dude did pretty good other than almost getting choked out in the first rnd.

Yoss, your avatar kind of freaks me out.  Although it does remind me of Ron Mael from one of my favorite bands from the 1970s,

What is the guy in @Yoss's Avatar eating? Makes me want some.

Yeah, always loved Sparks.  Unfortunately, I'm old enough that I remember when they first started.  

And the ref takes a point.

If there was ever a reason for a 2 point deduction it was there. 5 illegal strikes to the back of the head. Thats a double no-no. Then he grabs the fence to avoid the TD, id take another point away.

very impressive 3rd round by Matthews.

and that was one of the most blatant illegal elbows i've ever seen by Johnson.

Nice win for the young guy.  Pretty good potential, but we'll see how he does against better competition.

well thats what happens when you sign a guy with 9 wins and none of his opponents have a winning record. I cant understand why a guy like him got signed when theres 1000 other fighters who are way better. Dude wasnt even a good boxer, he was 15-15-3.
