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.

The star of the show so far is Barbarena.
