Predictions: 2 of 3 Winners, 0 Perfect, 100 Points   |   Tied for 316th

WSOF is going head to head with a major UFC PPV, as usual, but this is a solid card that should not be missed. 

The main card kicks off on NBC Sports at 1030pm ET following online prelims at WSOF.com around 730 or 8pm. 

Enjoy!

Oh, and there should be some Tapology love on the broadcast for reals this time.

Thanks for posting the video link.If someone was to have told me Nick,Nate and Khabib would all fight in the next year I wouldn't have believed it.You never know man.Seriously though,I used ot love the Diaz brothers,now I wish they would just fight or go away,preferably go away.

As for Rousimar tonight,I blame WSOF as much as him or more for picking him up.He had plenty of incidents in grappling tournaments,a few big ones before the UFC,3 or 4 in the UFC which got him fired,and now 2 in WSOF.They need to fire him.It's like terrible ref's these days,the same ones that consistently mess up,I blame to comissions for hiring these same idiots over and over.Kinda scarred an ok event.WSOF has done almost all the wrong moves since it started though.

Nick's made a huge mistake here ... eventually his little brother and Khabib are going to be locked in a cage together ... he doesn't want Khabib angry on that day ... it may be too late to save Nate, but they can always pray to the injury gods that he cools off by the time he's healed his knee.

Just watched the fight.
As much as I don't like Shields as a fighter, that ending was ******** and I lost a lot of respect for Paul Harris after this. This **** needs to stop. Honestly with this holding after a tap and still cranking after a "FOR SURE" tap drives me nuts. It could be career ending.


Paul Harris should be suspended from competition for a long time, if not banned.

Iv not seen the eye gouging bit so I wont comment.
But iv seen a few videos of the end in real time.
From the time the ref actually puts his hands on him to letting go really isnt that long- if it were any other fighter I dont think we would be talking about it.
Same with the Fitch kneebar- because he's got the history people are now looking out for it and counting how long it takes (in slow motion) from the first tap rather than looking from the point the ref jumps in would anyone else have let go much faster?
Iv also not seen many people make an issue out of Shields throwing a punch after the bell,whatever the rights or wrongs of paul harris's actions surley that punch is a suspendable offence too

The eye gouging is pretty blatant.  I don't understand Mazagatti, he kept warning and saying he'd take a point but never took a point, not that it matters for the outcome, but still.

Well Paul Harris only got $24,000 from WSOF 22. This will probably get through to him more than any suspension.

Joe Lauzon is a BOSS, calling someone a **** repeatedly whilst in the background there are baby toys and ****.  AWESOME.  Also, Paul Harris is a ****.

the eye gouging was ridiculous. mazzagatti is such ****. if you just get warned for doing something over and over then why stop doing it. points needed to be taken at a minimum. the sub was definitely way too long also, id like to see him get cut.  I can almost understand the punch from shields after all that

I'm telling you; cut him, send him to One FC where Ben Askren and kicks to the head on the ground live....

Ben Asskan would wrestle **** the **** out of him and has the right body type to counter-attack the PEDharris ****** train.

Palhares would beat Askren too.
