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!

Louis Smolka is pretty damn solid considering he's still in his early 20s. Excited to see where he goes.

Fun grappling match! I could see Smolka going places. Very good for being in the early 20's.
