Starting this one early ... cuz it's that sick. 

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

I see about 8 fights in the running for bonuses.

I thought Howard would have won by split dec. The two judges didn't see it that way. I didn't think people would see my comment in that way, my mistake.

Two of the judges seem to agree. It was a close first round that I thought Cote edged out, but the fight wasn't as close as the 29-28 decision read.

Thompson decisively won the next two rounds. Not enough for a 10-8, but still.

Skelli, it was weird that I picked Ebersole but thought Howard slightly edged it and you picked Howard and thought Ebersole should have won. Just thought that was interesting. I agree with you that Lee vs Tuck, and Thompson vs Cote were not close though.
