Predictions: 6 of 11 Winners, 2 Perfect, 350 Points   |   Tied for 450th

The fighters are weighed in and even Riggs hit the mark on his second try, so we're good to go for a somewhat underrated UFC card on PPV. 

Prelims kick off on UFC Fight Pass at 7pm ET before transitioning to FS1 at 8pm. As always, the PPV main card touches down at 10pm. 

Greg has you covered for the main card and special thanks to Yoss for covering the prelims while I attend a Canadian wedding!

Is every Riggs fight, from here on out, going to end because of an injury?

Yeah MikeyG, overturned fights like Silva vs Diaz and Dober vs Silva were changed on Tapology as well.

It gets changed in tapology, but the standings remain the same. I would have won the Maia/La Flare event if it wasn't for that rule.

Clay's fun to watch but his fight IQ is frustrating if you're a fan of his and want him to win.

Ugly fight ... neither have any sort of fight IQ. If Trator had stuck to grappling he'd have eventually submitted him and if Collard had stayed somewhat technical like he was in the first he'd have won pretty comfortably.

MMA judging needs a revamping, if the criteria stayed the same, instead of 3 judges maybe have 5 or 7. Definitely would cut back on split decisions and put more perspectives into the fights.

Not the worst decision ever, but I think Collard should've won. He did more damage throughout the fight, particulary the 1st and 2nd, and dos Santos did nothing but control with his grappling.

I remember one event where almost every dog one.The person that got first place in the event here was one of those people that picked everyone he thought would lose,he had a 30 or so % pick rate.So funny when you actually study fights and put effort in and then in the end you would have done much better with opposite picks.



I have a feeling Raquel pulls this one off.If her tdd is improved I think she should especially with Andrade on sort of short notice.Raquel is another one with terrible fight IQ.She willingly get's her back to the fence constantly,even though she has nice boxing and power.I haven't seen a ton of improvements from Andrade the last few fights.
