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!

SMH, thought Pesta was a decent bet but he somehow managed to gas himself out before Lewis did. Also doesn't seem to have a clue how to do submissions

In my opinion, Pesta needs to get someone to help with his stand up and his head movement the most.  He can't rely on his chin forever.

Sergio Pettis is one of the most overly hyped fighters in the UFC.

That fight was just a mess haha.Damn you Pesta =/ Reminded me a little of Lewis vs Rosholt,the guys got heart!I had a little extra faith in Pesta after his last fight,particularly his improved cardio (or so I thought) and I pictured him dominating after the first to a stoppage or decision.There's a lot of toss up fights on this card,even some of the big favorites like the 5-1 favorite Northcutt.I love when I really don't know what's going to happen.I wasn't confident in Pesta at all but I can see a lot of my picks not going my way.

If Sergio's last name wasn't Pettis he wouldn't be favored in this fight.

@unbeknownst  I get that he shouldn't be considered a favorite in the fight, but I don't get the kind of **** people are giving him.  It's not as if he blew up a ******* hospital like the Joker in The Dark Knight.

Where Pettis is overhyped Cariaso is equally...overranked.

Cariaso has nothing for Pettis. 

Pettis is looking impressive.

Pettis may be overrated and chinny, but he looked on-point tonight against a top 10.

29-28 Pettis
