Predictions: 5 of 11 Winners, 0 Perfect, 265 Points | Tied for 1185th

The fighters are weighed in and although a few missed the mark, all the match-ups are still a go for Saturday night.

Fight Pass prelims kick off at 7pm ET, followed by four prelims on FS1 at 8pm and the PPV main card at 10pm.

This wasn't the most stacked PPV effort on paper, but a two-week drought from the UFC has given it a bit of late heat.

Enjoy!

Stringer should get cut and anyone else who can't at least come into a UFC fight in shape should as well.

Stringer went from dominating to being as helpless as a puppy dog in about 2 seconds flat.

@Bigj383 Fabio Maldonado is a good body puncher, and Stringer spent half a round getting pounded by him. If you watch previous Maldonado wins you will see that EVERY OPPONENT who loses to him gasses badly after a round or so. That is the sign of good body punching.

Anderson jumping on the cage and celebrating with Fabio was a good visual.

Stringer should go to Bellator and fight Etherington, their performances seem to be at a similar level. Maldonado is so entertaining in such a bizarre way. I would watch him fight a rock.

Went with Glover but wouldn't be shocked if Davis is a wet blanket him.

Also a bit worried that Glover is too flat footed and plodding, hope he KO's Davis.

@pillory totally agree, I can't exactly understand why, but I love watching him fight... and I'm also in awe every time he somehow wins a fight.

and, he's now 4-0 in his last 4 as a Light Heavy, who would've thought?

Them saying it's not going to the judges and knowing Phil Davis is one of the fighters involved in the fight confirms it's going to the judges.

I can't root for Davis.

The Machida decision ruined it for me.

Stringer was gassed at the start of rd 2. Maldonado exacerbated it with body work but that isn't the whole reason he gassed.
