Predictions: 8 of 10 Winners, 5 Perfect, 550 Points   |   Tied for 208th

The fighters are weighed in and we're set for a PPV that doesn't have many people talking ... at least, not in the right ways. 

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!

Don't see how Brunson could've won the first two. 29-28 Anderson GOAT.

I've got it 30-27 Brunson, Anderson was too inactive to take any of those rounds and Brunson landed some real solid shots in the clinch, but I smell a split with some weird scores coming up.

29-28 Silva in an underwhelming fight? idk.

everything is weird about Anderson. he's controlling the fight and then allows to be punched like 10 times in a row for no reason at all.

30-28 Brunson for me with a 10-10 R2. Silva had moments. Too willing to take damage.

I'm just going to say from the top, a 29-28 Silva is something I could see, though I personally felt Brunson won. 

But a 30-27 for Silva is pretty awful.

I thought the fight was a lot closer than Rogan and Cormier were leaning. 

Not outraged at the winner. May even think Silva won on a rewatch.

29-28 Brunson in my card with Brunson taking the 1st and the third.

I thought Brunson landed the better shots throughout the fight, but I'm glad to see Anderson finally get the win

Really weird fight where Brunson felt like he was avoiding Anderson for large stretches and being pot-shotted, but when the two exchanged, Brunson was winning handily. 

Don't think either guy winning is outrageous.

Holly has put a lot of pressure on herself to win. GDR has been relaxed all week.
