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!

I'm not so sure Cathal is gonna win this decision.  He looks extremely slow.

Ugh! 

Missed another pick I only made because Doomsday's been looking so awful as of late but at least Pendred's record will start showing how awful he is.

Fight ******* sucked! Doomsday could have lit him up.

I picked against Howard more than anything.  Mostly because of the new drug testing.
