Predictions: 6 of 11 Winners, 1 Perfect, 365 Points   |   Tied for 773rd

The fighters are weighed in and we're set for what may be the best card of the year (on paper). 

Let's hope it delivers. 

Prelims kick off on UFC Fight Pass at 7pm ET before moving over to FS1 at 8pm. The PPV main card, as always, starts at 10pm. 

Let's get this topic as (respectably) rowdy as the Irish fans in attendance will be Saturday night!

So Swick can either retire, or head to Bellator I guess.

Tim Means is a bad MFer. He has had all of his teeth knocked out by a shovel. Tim has also been shot multiple times...... Too bad he is fighting one of the worlds best 170 LBS fighters in the world.


WAR BROWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well,I don't think this fight could be boring,but you never know.After Melvin Guillard and Jeremy Stephens' absolute snorefest I was never confident in a fight being exciting again.It should be rutheless though.
