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.

Funny how during the prelims they posted tweets from all three Cleveland pro teams supporting Stipe and I'm sitting here thinking, "Oh ****, I should have picked Werdum to finish in the first, I forgot about the curse of Cleveland sports."  Has it been lifted?  Are the Cavs going to win the title now?  RGIII for league MVP?

5/12, 2 perfect for 1,171st - sadly, not my worst Brazzo-card. Time to hang them up.
