Predictions: 7 of 12 Winners, 4 Perfect, 515 Points   |   Tied for 205th

The fighters are weighed in and we're set for what should be a fun night in Curitiba. 

Prelims kick off on UFC Fight Pass at 630pm ET before switching over to FS1 at 8pm. The PPV main card starts at 10pm. 

Have to be honest, Anderson's withdrawal has dampened my enthusiasm for this one and the co-main does nothing for me. But Maia-Brown should be good and the main event is intriguing. 

Hopefully we get some good fights.

It so sad that Shogun and Lil Nog are top LHW.

Corner: "throw straight punches Shogun!"

Shogun: "What is that?"

@kinsala I wouldn't say it's sad.  The heavier weight divisions have slower turnover than the lighter weight classes.  Plus, Lil Nog and Shogun are good fighters.  Still, I hope both retire soon.

Depends how they score the second round. Shogun won the first and Anderson won the third.

Shogun looks like a Welterweight that ate too much pie and said **** it.

Thought Anderson won the fight over all but good for Shogun I hate Corey's fighting style.
