Predictions: 10 of 12 Winners, 6 Perfect, 690 Points   |   Tied for 349th

The fighters are weighed in and we're set to go for Saturday night. 

It's one of the most underwhelming cards of the year so far, especially with a PPV price tag attached to it, but we'll truck through!

Prelims kick off on UFC Fight Pass at 630pm ET before switching over to FS1 at 8pm. We hit the main card on PPV at 10pm. 

Enjoy!

DJ needs to be forced back up to 135.  He has effectively cleaned out the division and having Cejudo being force fed to Mighty Mouse just to have him suffer the same fate that Dodson, Horiguchi, Bagautinov, Benavidez, Moraga, Cariaso, and McCall is something that I don't want to see.

In the post fight press conference after Horiguchi's last fight he said he wasn't ready for a title shot, and needed a few more fights, but there just simply isn't too many contenders at 125.I really like Horiguchi and he'll have a good future in the UFC imo.Horiguchi is getting much better each fight,I remember watching him losing to Ishiwatari before getting the comeback win in the 5th not too long ago and he's a much better fighter now.He has the potential to fight for the title again imo,just not anytime soon.

Quit complaining ... DJ's a great champ, he's put quite a few fight where he didn't "dry hump his opponent" ... he's just got enough tools to choose the right one for the right fight and the smarts to pick them mid-fight ...

As if any one of you haters would've stood and banged with someone who's got a slight advantage on you when you had such a clear advantage grappling with the belt on the line ...

It's not like every one of DJ's fights looks like this one.

Sucked as a Kyoji fan to watch, but slow down with the DJ hate.

@Hornet MM was all about going up to 135 to make superfights but Dana White didn't want anything to do with that.He doesn't want to see one of the champs lose and lose their draw.

Good job Skelliher!

Really can not emphasize how absolutely perfect DJ's wrestling looked, cutting the angle, clean entry, and driving through his shots were absolutely gorgeous.  His double was great, and that running the pipe he did on his single was great along with his knee pull and his hi-c off to a double was money as well. Just a great showcase from DJ and can't wait for his next fight.  I've never before watched a fight for it's entirety totally awe-struck by the fluidity and grace with which a fighter performs like Mighty Mouse.

What draw?

No one at 125 or 135 is a draw.
