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.

It sounds like whomever was cutting off her wraps sliced her hands.  

I can only assume Dana has killed this person with his bare hands.

All 3 judges gave Machida round 2. If Lyoto avoided the TD in the 5th, he would be the middleweight champion right now.

Machida cemented himself as one of the most G guys in this sport after tonight. A real martial artist, a real fighter and a real titty banger. That last flurry gave me such a boner I'm gonna go **** my girlfriend right now thinking about it. Respect this man you ****s.

A 10-8 for Weidman in the 3rd is nuts.

Loved Machida's performance, but gotta give props to Weidman for totally shutting down his game for the first 3 rounds. Then we got some classic Machida swag in the fourth and a tough as nails champ coming back in the fifth. Amazing fight.

Machida's lack of agression lost him this fight. In the fourth when he had Weidman hurt he backed up entirely to much. In the first and third if he would have pushed the pace a tad more this fight could have been his. Weidman showed heart and a tough tricky style of striking, ehh I don't know if Vitor tags him with some shots Machida did then I can see him going down. Interesting fight between them.

Damn ******* good fight, imo it was closer than the score cards  make it look so,  Machida was  closer to finish his opponent with his titty hell kicks. Weidman scored a few takedowns but he never manage to do anything with his position. the judge who scored the 3rd round 10-8 must be drunker than the guy who cut Ronda's wraps.  I think Machida will get another chance soon.

Machida is beat up. Other than a few shots and flurries, I don't know how anyone gave anything but round 4 to Machida.

@Legz

I'll give him props when he throws combinations like that before he's down 3 rounds to 1. Pawing and fainting for 3 rounds is nothing to blow your load over.

Just shows why the 10-9 system isn't all that accurate in letting you know how competitive a fight was. I completely agree with a 49-46 or 48-47 Weidman score. Personally I had it 49-47 Weidman with a 10-10 fifth, but it was competitive the entire time and you felt the momentum could shift at any moment -- then it finally started shifting back and fourth in the championship rounds.
