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!

You think they'd wait 12 months for a healthy McGregor to fight again ... no ******* way.

Cedeno looks really good right now, and after five minutes to let them sink in the fighter trunks look ******* stupid. I said it.
