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 got it round a piece but ACJ barely took the first round Vettori took second round pretty clear.

Carlos Junior is another guy where I have been disappointed with his performamces in the UFC. His ceiling looks pretty low regardless of the outcome of this fight.

First Round was close. I'm leaning 29-28 for Junior.

Carlos Junior will probably eek out the decision here but it wasn't very impressive.

One of those weird fights. Vettori won R2 bigger, but I've got it 29-28 ACJ. Bit of a snoozer with moments of action.
