Predictions: 4 of 9 Winners, 1 Perfect, 240 Points   |   Tied for 1021st

The fighters are weighed in and all but one hit the mark. (Lewis Gonzalez missed.)

This card was decimated by injuries, but the main event is still intact and there are still some quality fights going down in the crazy land of Florida. 

Prelims kick off on FS2 at 8pm ET followed by the main card on FS1 at 10pm. 

Enjoy!

If Larkin's fight IQ improves I could see him being a gatekeeper or borderline top 10 guy in the WW division.

It's good to be the king.


Yeah, but how's being second? I guess that would be the Queen. It's probably still good to be Queen.
