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.

I'd give it to Cub but if I was him I'd be nervous about the decision. Stephens made it close enough that it wouldn't be a robbery by any stretch.

Just an awesome fight.  And on a side note, I'm pretty sure seven perfects is a personal best on a UFC card.

edit: and it doesn't even get me into the top 75.  Bunch of fight picking savages on this site!

Very very good fight. I really enjoyed it. Lil Heathen really impressed me and to be honest I saw the fight closer. Not sure why 4-1 for two judges. But ehh, not surprised. The liver shot in the 3rd was the tide turner in my opinion.

Not surprised that Swanson is getting the next shot, but it would be nice to see Jeremy pull out a great fight.
