Predictions: 8 of 10 Winners, 5 Perfect, 550 Points | Tied for 208th
We lost another prelim at the weigh-ins, as Justin Willis was unable to complete his weight cut and was deemed medically unfit to compete.
As such, we'll proceed with 11 bouts out of an original 14.
Prelims kick off on UFC Fight Pass at 7pm ET before switching to FS1 at 8pm. The PPV main card airs at 10pm.
Enjoy!

I think UFC is hoping to sell this more on the Undercard with Anderson Silva, Jacare, and Texeira though their opponents aren't the most known either, outside of Boetsch and even he is not popular in the casual market.
There are a lot of great fighters on this card but that's not what gets money from casual fans.

Holm-Randamnie, Silva-Brunson, Mccall-Brooks, Brown-Muhamad are all close fight. Even Makhachev-lentz Texeira-Cannonier and Poirier-Miller are intriguing.
In my opinion, it's the best card on paper since UFC 206 and I thanks the UFC for making it. If casual fans do not watch it, bad for them, but they may miss something great!

This woman's featherweight division took me by surprise... Haven't looked into it, but so far these are the only two girls I'm aware of... aside from cyborg... not completely sure about how she isn't fighting for this belt.
