Predictions: 7 of 10 Winners, 3 Perfect, 455 Points   |   Tied for 217th

The fighters are weighed in and we're set for the featured event of the weekend. 

The main event is pretty intriguing, and I actually think Ivanov has some serious skills. 

Still trying to dig up confirmation on the status of the Taylor-Salchov bout. They didn't weigh in. 

Either way, prelims kick off online either at 6pm or 7pm ET followed by the main card at 9pm on NBC Sports.

So happy I chose to watch the Gonzalez/Viloria fight instead. It's been very good.

I had it 30-27 for Fitch. Huge victory for him.

I'd like to see Fitch vs. Askren.

Askren would murk Fitch.

Did pretty good in the picks, but I had a 1 dollar event parlay that was successfully ruined by people named Almeida. Screw you Almeidas.

I have nothing against Fitch, but that bout vs. Okami was extremely boring. Okami isn't exactly the most exciting fighter either, so it wasn't just Fitch's problem.

Fitch has not finished a fight since 2007. Is that a record?

Maybe he's trying to catch up to Antonio McKee's 72% Decision rate.

Bill Burgess was certainly pleased by this fight. Looking forward to Fitch vs. Shields which will be even more excite-boring.

Yeah, Shields never finished a fight in the UFC but at least he did in the WSOF.
