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!

Machida's days as a contender are done.. but Romero is 38, so his will be soon. Fun.

Fun card, good stuff by Romero.
Not good stuff on the post fight interview, however, what a goof.

The Chris should be worried ... and make sure that no matter what he doesn't get to the 3rd round with Romero. Sweet mother of ground and pound finishes!!!

Who's gonna be MW champ by the end of the year? Weidman, Rockhold, Romero, or Jacare? I feel like there should be a round robin tournament between those guys.

It was like Romero was trying to get me the perfect there. Knew it was a bad idea for Machida to make such a quick turnaround after how bad he was hurt in the Rockhold fight.
