Predictions: 4 of 10 Winners, 4 Perfect, 300 Points   |   Tied for 812th

The fighters are weighed in and both Johny Hendricks and Ray Borg missed weight. Both fights are still a go. 

We may have lost Velasquez-Werdum, but there are some great match-ups on this one along with a pair of extremely compelling title fights. 

We've got one prelim on UFC Fight Pass at 730pm ET followed by FS1 prelims at 8pm. The PPV main card, as always, airs at 10pm. 

Enjoy!

@Ultra, do you actually view Tap in that color scheme? I'm color blind, but it looks seizure-inducing to me.

Anything othe than the soles of your feet is illegal. That is illegal and should be probably be DQ or a NC at least.

Welp, they should probably address that rule moving forward. That sucks because that fight was great up until that point.

Clearly intentional. Clearly legal. 

Looks like everyone in the cage but Means was operating under the old Unified Rules. Under current rules, seems that's legal. 

Kind of an embarrassing moment for Miragliotta and the commission, if it is shown to be legal.
