Predictions: 8 of 12 Winners, 5 Perfect, 575 Points   |   Tied for 608th

The fighters (all but one) have weighed in and we're set for what is still a quality night of fights in Houston, Texas. Every bout, from the first prelim straight through to the main event has some sort of storyline or interesting dynamic worth paying attention to. I think the match-ups favor high-paced affairs for quite a few of them as well. 

Prelims kick off on UFC Fight Pass at 630pm ET before switching over to FS1 at 8pm. As always, the PPV main card touches down at 10pm. 

This is what we do and why we do it, baby!

WE RollinnnNNnnnNNNNNN ... YEAH!

It was from Jon Jones insta.  His reaction to the fight. 

I guess he was hacked.

I had it 49-46 DC.

I thought Gus won round 2. In the 3rd DC was winning the majority of the round, even though Gus got that knee and knocked him down, but again I thought DC controlled the majority of the round. However the 3rd round was the closest of the fight.

Yeah, I'm sure Jon Jones' Instagram got...





What a bitter little *****.  It's not Cormier's fault Jones lost his belt for being a brainless junkie that almost killed a woman with his car.

@yoss  Yeah, it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.  Jones is still bitter, in my opinion.  His positive attitude is nothing more than a facade.

Yes. Tumenov and Martins both get POTN bonuses. For sure thought one would be robbed for ManZant.

This is what winning looks like folks...



If that is what Cormier looks like after that five round war, I shudder to think what Gustafsson looks like right now.

@Hornet, I've said a while ago that the minute Jones stops trying to be holier than thou and let's his true self shine through he'll be a much bigger star than he is today.

People keep calling him ****y, so ******* be ****y and own it, don't pretend to be a Disney princes while you're still wiping the blow off your nose.

Be ****y, say you're the best and whoever doesn't like that can go wait for GSP to come out of retirement or pray the Saige ManZant hype train goes to the top.

Jon Jones set his mind on being the all-time greatest from the get-go and he kind of cornered himself into being "the face". Thing is, this isn't basketball, it's fighting, from Ali to McGregor and all that's in between it's already been shown you don't need to be a humble walking cliche machine to be the biggest star.

Jon Jones needs to be Jon Jones, maybe now that he can't pretend to be a saint anymore he'll finally accept that.

@yoss  You know and I know that Jon Jones isn't capable of doing that. He has been, is, and always will be a two faced snake that pulls his act so he can be a mainstream media darling.  It goes back to his past as being a rat fink back in high school and pretending to be the "good" student.  It's ingrained in him mentally to be a dishonest ************* and he will never change.

I think Jones will return as a HW. He only has Gus/AJ to proves himself against.  I mean he did already against Gus but who doesn't want to see it again? And Rumble, who doesn't want to see him fight the guy who made Jones snort Marijuanas and behead a pregnant nun?
