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 always gases. Kicks had something to do with it though.

Herzog kinda screwed the pooch in that round. 10-8 Lee I guess.

Ah ****, Tuck continues his journey into mediocrity ... I had such high hopes for him ... not to be champ or anything, but I thought he'd be much better ... he's got all the talent, seems lacking in the mental area, no killer instinct.

@nogfan, UFC doesn't hire the refs ... at least not where there's a commission in place ...

Yeah. Herzog is usually really good. Even the best refs have ****** fights. Yves Lavigne had the Wiman/Danzig issue, Dean had the Corassani fight, etc. Just as long as it doesn't happen too often

We get Gunnar, Conor, and Cathal within the same week.  

It's (almost) enough to pull the lucky horseshoe out of my ass.

These prelims should be good, all of them are pretty good match ups. I wanna see Wonder Boy in action again. Also, I been waiting for The Dominator to get back in the cage.
