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.

Is it crazy that I thought almost all of these fights were 50/50 picks? I'm not surprised by any of these results.


So I missed the whole card due to me having a weekend job with horrible hours for a UFC fanatic.

So once again I'm here to ask, which fights should I actively seek out to watch?

Besides Cyborg, is there any big future  Brazilian star? Alves could be but he needs a lot of work.

Thomas Almeida, Thiago "Marreta" Santos, John Lineker, Gilbert Burns, Alex "Cowboy" Oliveira, and  Alan Patrick are fighters that, in my opinion, have potential to become stars.

Trinaldo fight vs Medeiros was the best fight i have seen all year. i thought Yancy was gonna KO him in third round b/c of his(trinaldo's) open mouth at the end of second round. no losers in that fight and yancy has the best chin i have seen. props to both fighters. Trinaldo threw bombs in all three rounds. big shots with fists, elbows and knees.

How does the" champion" Werdum make less than Miocic?  that can't be right.?  i'm just talking show salary.

Miocic has been the underdog who convincingly outclassed fighters in the top 10. I would like to see him fight Cain Velasquez next
