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.

I still think I want to see Cyborg vs. de Randamie later in the year.

Ronda is definitely next for Miesha/Nunes? If so, then yeah Holm/Shevchenko vs Cyborg. And when Cyborg beats the entire division then we can all realize she deserved her weight class.

Unfortunately, this card is living down to my expectations. 

There's no drama. It's all predictable. That was a squash match. Shogun-Anderson was meh at best. Alves-Barberena had no stakes. 

I don't care about the co-main. 

Hoping for something special in the main to salvage my monies.

One last thing about Cyborg:

Cyborg/KO1 is literally the easiest pick for a perfect on tapology. 

You get a perfect! And you get a perfect! EVERYONE GETS A PERFECT!

What a mismatch was Cyborg-Smith. Did anybody think otherwise about this fight? I saw this coming from the moment it was announced.

If Jacare can survive the early Vitor Blitzkrieg (I think he can, but you never know), I see him showing exactly why Vitor has been ducking him for so long.

Jacare should be fighting for the title already. He beat tainted supplement Romero imo.
