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.

Does anyone actually believe Rousey will lose? I find the women's fights to be hard to pick because of limited information, but no one has really ever been close to beating Ronda. I guess she has to fight whoever they put in there.

Scary stuff.  Struve doesn't cut any weight either, so the list of things that could be wrong are only terrible.

I have it 29-29 with a 10-10 R2, but think we're getting a Split for Doane. Rogan is making this one seem like it's a gimme for Brimage.

Good rally from behind for Brimage.  I think he edged the 2nd and took the 3rd.
