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.

Tuck has been disappointing so far in the UFC. Lee on the other hand has looked good and will only get better.

I went with the underdog again. Even at age 30, I think Tuck is more of a prospect than Lee.

EDIT: I don't think of Tuck as underrated. I just think that Lee will prove to be even more of a bust.

Tuck maybe should think about pulling guard if he can't get it down ... I think he owns Lee on the mat while as standing it's pretty much even with a slight advantage to Lee, imo.

Did Tuck gas on his own or was it the result of those body kicks?
