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!

Good grief - Mendes lays on him and beats him up for the entire round and then looses it in the last 15 seconds.

Mendes needs to never take a 5 round fight on short notice again.

 it was a good win for Conor but he definitely needs to work on his ground game he looked like a dead fish on the ground. Mendez looked tired from the end of rd one. I was a bit impressed by the size difference Conor they looked from different divisions.

What I take from this fight is that Conor can take a punch but he keeps getting tagged and that's not a good thing against Aldo.
