Predictions: 7 of 13 Winners, 5 Perfect, 525 Points   |   Tied for 256th

The fighters are weighed in and we're set for a solid lineup in Sacramento Saturday night. 

Prelims kick off on UFC Fight Pass at 330pm ET before switching to FS1 at 5pm. The FOX main card airs at 8pm. 

Not huge name value on this one, but a lot of closely-matched fights between exciting young prospects. 

Oh, and the final UFC fight of Urijah Faber as he takes on another vet in Brad Pickett.

@yoss

It's nights like these where I wish that the UFC allowed Baroni and Rogan to be the commentary team again.

I mean, Goldberg is bad enough being play by play with his crappy puns and **** analysis, but add in a **** color commentator with no personality like Stann and they could make any entertaining fight a snoozefest.

I hope the UFC hires Michael Schiavello to replace Goldberg if the rumors are true about him leaving.

I don't think I've ever seen a flyweight fight go so slow ... they're like a couple of mini light heavyweights

Nice KO by Wineland.

There is a One Punch Man joke to make, but I can't come up with a good meme.

Well, starting off 0-3. For some reason, I picked Smith to win... I feel like I'm ******. Just a hunch, though. ;)

Aldana needs to mix in a double-leg when Leslie bull-rushes ... she's open to it and it'll at least keep Leslie off her and give her the space she needs to shine
