Predictions: 7 of 13 Winners, 3 Perfect, 465 Points   |   Tied for 712th

The fighters are weighed in and we had some manufactured drama go down at the weigh-ins for the main event. 

Prelims kick off at 615pm ET on UFC Fight Pass before switching to FS1 at 8pm. As always, the main card touches down on PPV at 10pm. 

Enjoy!

@Yossgold

Cerrone was taking it to him in the third round of there first fight though and was turning the tables.   This is a five round fight. I personal think this is going to end with Cerrone finishing him in the later rounds.

@Franklin, I agree and I hope that's what it means ... I'll probably go with Cerrone just cause that's what I want to happen and I agree he's got a fair chance to win ...

@yoss Fair enough.  I shouldn't have been comparing apples and oranges.  Plus both fighters have improved at the same rate.  But there is a massive difference between a 3 round fight and a 5 round fight.  RDA could (keyword: could) wrestle**** and GnP Cerrone for 3 rounds, but I don't think he could do it for 5 (which is what RDA did against Pettis after he knocked Pettis silly in the 1st round).

That's not all, though. RDA is the bigger fighter of the two, muscle mass wise, and I wonder how the new weight cutting and re-hydration rules will change RDA's performance.  Plus the element of the fact that this is a title fight changes it a bit from an atmosphere perspective.  RDA is no longer the hungry challenger, and I wonder how that will come into play when he fights a Donald Cerrone that is more motivated than any other point in his career.
