Predictions: 9 of 11 Winners, 5 Perfect, 615 Points   |   Tied for 151st

Greg and Skelliher are off this week (fixing global warming and bringing peace to the Middle East, respectively).  

I agreed to monitor the festivities of UFC Fight Night 44.  

Featuring a likely title-eliminator fight in the main event, and some great talent on the undercard, enjoy this fine free event from your UFC overlords.

Gastelum gets that weight cut down and he's going to contend.  Musoke showed a lot of heart.

Gastelum reminds me of a poor man's Cain Velasquez. The main advantage Gastelum has in that comparison is the fact that he's only 22, whereas, Velasquez didn't even take his first pro fight until after he turned 24.

^You folks are crazy people. I would never watch a UFC event if I had to go by those times. It's only 12:50AM here and I'm already tired.
