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!

Wouldn't be mad if Rory brought a belt back to Canada, but I have been a Robbie Lawler fan forever. This is my main event, and I am beyond ******* pumped to see how this plays out. Ultimately, I would like to see Lawler win, for no other reason than because he is Robbie ******* Lawler.

He is basically the Maynard of the MMA world so it makes complete sense.

How rare is it that the heavier championship bout is the co-main vs the lighter class main-event?

Very. Before UFC 100 Dana had said the heavier weight class title fight would always be the main. Of course Dana going back on his word I'm sure surprises everyone..

Wow Tim Sylvia's named being dropped will be the closest thing of him being back in the UFC.
