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!

I'd pick Nunes even over fully confident Ronda, but I was never giving her a chance against "I'm not talking to you because you weren't nice to me" Ronda.

Holly Holm owns her soul. She took it and buried it somewhere in the outback underneath a dead Kangaroo.

I figured the competition would catch up to Rousey eventually but it didn't just catch up with her, it ran her over.

Ronda picked the wrong new father figure in Dana, I'm betting my bottom dollar he knew damn well she wasn't in it mentally but sold her down the river for a million PPV buys and some potential leverage over Conor.

@yoss

That head kick KO killed all the confidence Rousey built up in MMA.  Well that plus her ****** coach Edmund ruined how she fought.  I don't get why she didn't ditch Glendale Fight Club and move to somewhere like AKA and get training from a real coach like Javier Mendes instead of that clown Tarverdyan.

Daddy issues man, not joking. She lost her dad young and Edmund slid into the father figure spot. I hate her mom but she was right about the sleezy ******.

Also, now people are going to see how this "movie career" of hers dies just as fast. There's a limit to how bad even action flic actors can be for it to work.

I think Ronda would be better served with a few people in her corner that help her deal with reality rather than letting her keep feeding her "underdog" mentality.

She's a great person, who's achieved great things, she deserves to be given the tools to enjoy than and not feel like everyone's constantly out to get her.

Loser of the night is WME-IMG. 

Winners include Cody Garbrandt, Amanda Nunes, Tj Dillashaw and ... Conor McGregor, who is currently sitting beside a warm hearth in Dublin, cozed up in a mink coat, nursing a whisky by a two-way radio.

You can listen to Edmund Targaryan's desperation via corner audio if you'd like. 

You can almost hear his soul shrivel and collapse under the weight of the implications of this loss.

It seems reasonable to assume WME set up Holm-de Randamie to give a victorious Rousey a shot at claiming 2 UFC belts in 2017 ... welp. Now they have no Cyborg, no Rousey ... and a WBW division that's about to be diluted further with the addition of 145. 

Smooth.

I hope no serious MMA fighter trains with him again. Ellenberger got out just in time and no one cares about Travis Browne.

With the type of athlete Ronda is and the work ethic and confidence she had, what a REAL head coach would've done for her is a crazy thought.

She's achieved so much despite him, I find that amazing.

Two things:
1. I hope we never have to hear about Ronda being the best female fighter ever anymore.
2. Hopefully we can all agree Cyborg would've ended Ronda's life if they fought.

Woah, I thought I would enjoy it but that was devastating to listen to. Hard not to feel some empathy for a human being going through that regardless of how much he deserves it.

...And that is why I am against capital punishment.

I hope Amanda Nunes gets the respect she has earned. She is a complete fighter and in my opinion the most fun to watch. She's aggressive and skilled. Her next title defense should be in Brazil too. All the non stop Rousey talk leading up was nauseating. AND STILL....So happy for Nunes, can't wait to see her fight again.
