Predictions: 7 of 11 Winners, 4 Perfect, 500 Points | Tied for 598th
Well, I understand that they have a huge roster to support, but no clear distinction in quality has been apparent between many PPV main cards and FOX and FS1 main cards in 2014.
Hopefully this is a step back toward stacked PPV cards instead of a rare occurrence.

The sad thing is I thought Horiguchi, who was originally set to fight Cariaso, was gonna beat Cariaso down. lol

Maybe Dominick Cruz and Cat Zingano will collide in the hallway at the arena and both re-injure their knees.

I will even make a prediction: When it's over, everyone will be saying "Why (oh why) wasn't Alvarez/Cerrone the 5-round main event here?"

Heck, when's the last BIG title fight we've had? Machida vs Weidman maybe, but there wasn't any bad blood or anything. I think the last big fight was Weidman vs Silva 2 in December.

With Jones/Cormier, I think this one would have topped 700k, with the possibility of approaching 1M.
Without it, I say it does between 275 and 350k. It's all about the headliners.

It's a lighter weight card so I kinda like it the way it is. Except that I'd replace the main event with Edgar vs Swanson.
Imagine that.

The reason Cerrone vs Alvarez is a 3 rounder is because it's the Co-Main.
Even though Mighty Mouse should run thru Cariaso, it's still a 5 Round Title Fight, hence the Main Event.
Did I really have to explain that? Wow.
