Predictions: 6 of 11 Winners, 3 Perfect, 455 Points   |   Tied for 225th

The fighters are weighed in and we're set for the last UFC event for a whopping 4 weeks!

Hopefully we enter the UFC hiatus on the back of a strong effort, because this card is weak on paper (at least for a PPV.)

Prelims kick off on UFC Fight Pass at 7pm ET before switching to FS1 at 8pm. The main card airs at 10pm. 

Enjoy!

Extremely late, disgusting stoppage. 

Fair play to Perry. Granite chin on him. Can't live on that forever though.

@Mikeyg

Yeah that was a poor stoppage on Goddard's part.  Which is unexpected really, because Goddard is a great ref.

If he was a great ref, he wouldn't have a history of these stoppages. But he does. Therefore, he's not a great ref. 

A ref's chief concern is the safety of the competitors, which is Goddard's worst quality.

Excellent fight with Perry and Roberts. I had it rounds 1 and 2 to Perry and round 3 was going to Roberts befor the TKO. Very good finish cause 2nd round was close.

I agree, usually Goddard is on point. I like Perry as a heel, he needs to continue that role.

Huh, I've always thought of Goddard as one of the better ref's. I honestly think he is pretty great at it, especially comparing him to some of the other ref'a there are.

@skelliher

Oh stop it.  Goddard doesn't have a bad history of stoppages.  Sure he has made some errors.  Every ref has at some point.  But nothing egregious like Yamasaki, Miragliotta, Winslow, Shimada, Copeland and Mazzagatti.

Oh crap...I hope I don't regret picking Diakiese...like a bug on his back most of the round so far, like most Brits when they get took down...they have no wrestling/jiu-jitsu skills to get them up evidently.
