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!

Gonzalez' striking is a serious contender for worst in the division.

Leandro simply can't maintain any favorable position that he gets. His opponents might as well be made of soap.

This is a situation where I wouldn't mind seeing the Asian type judging. This fight was basically a draw.
