Predictions: 4 of 10 Winners, 1 Perfect, 255 Points   |   Tied for 1092nd

Fight Pass prelims kick off at 7pm ET, followed by FS1 prelims at 8pm and the PPV main card at 10pm. 

Best card of the year so far (on paper), and probably the best we're going to get for some time. 

Enjoy it while it lasts.

Leaning toward Santos with a 29-28, but wouldn't be a robbery either way.

Well, Hall landed the harder shots in the 3rd, but that takedown at the end could be the deal-breaker.

Hall seemed surprised by that, after he heard the 30-27 he thought he lost (as did I)


These 30-27s make me nervous for the Machida/Weidman fight.

I think all three rounds were arguable for either guy. Close fight that could have gone either way. Hall landed the better shots upstairs and Santos had nasty leg kicks.

Uriah showed chin and heart tonight and didn't look afraid to get hit against a VERY underrated striker in Santos. Could be a nice step in the right direction for him.

Had it 28-27 for Hall, but also gave him 10,000 bonus points for that nasty break that he continued with; so 10,028 - 27 Hall.

Is the MOB back of this judges? How is it possible scored 30-27, when third round is clear for Santos. Others rounds are very close, but round 3 is clear. I'm still thinking judges are going to kill this sport like they did with boxing.
