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!

Those who think that fight was fixed need to have their brain fixed. Seriously. Stop watching MMA.

Im one of the biggest haters on McGregor your gonna find but if you think this was fixed your letting the hate blind you. The dude is for real, Hes a giant ********* but he is for real and he has a real shot at knocking out the #1 p4p fighter in the world. With all that being said ALDO KO1 FTW!!!!!!

Interesting that drug test results were withheld?
