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!

Well this one will either move me up the ranks or drop me down a good ways. I took the big underdog here.

I'm gonna wait 'till Mathews fights someone with any sort of ground game before I blow up, but he's got all the tools and what seems like the right attitude to make some waves ...

Makes my post about me thinking that he was actually one of the guys that should've been in the show's finale back then look even better than it did at the time :)

I don't consider Rhodes winning so much of an upset ... I think this is a 50/50 fight if I've ever seen one ... I'd maybe even give Rhodes a slight advantage on the ground ... still pulling for Whittaker cos I luv 'im, though :)

Whittaker takes both of them, imo, via landing a bit more, landing some "staggerers" and Octagon control ...

Nice fight ... I have it a clean 30-27, but not an embarrassing one on Biggie's behalf ...
