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!

Wonder if Dana giving away massive amounts of tickets to Brazilians or what, not sure if I've heard an American event with so many Brazilian chants.

Cowboy wins comfortably, closer than I thought though.

I wouldn't mind seeing Merritt again under a full camp.

Merritt's a great athlete ... overmatched skillwise, but uber-athletic ... that'll win him a few fights while he's gaining experience ...

30-27 Cowboy. He didn't look bad, but he needs work on his grappling for sure. I don't know why he doesn't trust his stand up more.
