Predictions: 7 of 11 Winners, 4 Perfect, 500 Points   |   Tied for 598th

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.
