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.

Swanson either 48-47 or 49-46. I am leaning towards the latter.
