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!

No. Jose has a built in excuse so the rematch we all knew was coming anyway will be even more anticipated.

Damn it, that superstitious pick didn't work. C'mon Yoel and screw my picks up.

I liked Machida better when he came out to "Bleed it Out"

Edit: I take that back...

I'm imagining Machida likes the larger cage better.

Getting better but I have no idea who's winning. Could be 2-0 either way. I give the 2nd to Yoel 10-9 but I'm horribly biased.
