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!

So the main card doesn't start until 10 pm but we have 70 minutes left to air 2 fights beforehand? Oooph.

So, which will win, Silva's positional unawareness or Gonzalez' hilariously bad striking?
