Predictions: 5 of 11 Winners, 4 Perfect, 350 Points   |   Tied for 675th

It's official! The weigh-ins are done and Cain is returning for the first time since 2013 to defend that strap against a surging Fabricio Werdum. This is the first opponent not named JDS or Bigfoot Silva that Cain has fought since 2010, and I can't wait. 

The co-main features a spectacular lightweight showdown between the ex-Strikeforce champ and the ex-Bellator champ that is just as deserving of championship rounds as the main event. 

Prelims kick off on UFC Fight Pass at 7pm ET before switching over to FX at 8pm. The main card, as always, hits PPV at 10pm. 

Enjoy, mis amigos!

Cain is getting beat up. Out-*******-standing, man. Kings MMA is the best camp in the game right now.

What in the **** is happening? Cain is basically out on his feet. Seriously never would have predicted this in a billion years.
