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.

Ebersole's so good at making his opponent "have an off day" ... Doomsday looked like he didn't check in today, as do so many of Ebersole's opponents ...

I picked Ebersole but I think Howard probably edged it in the 3rd.
