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.

What a win by Maia.  He put a BJJ clinic on Brown.  He deserves a title shot after that.

Man I hate Maiai. Seems like a great guy and is a BJJ wizard but I hate all his fights. Give him a 5 rounder against a  good wrestler with some sub defense and I think we'd see him  gas and get finished.

And Tyrone Woodley is next in line. ******* joke! Maia, Wonderboy are both in front of him yet they have to fight ******* contenders to get a shot while he cruises in on a win over Gastelum. I hope Robby murders him.
