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!

Not the worst decision ever, but I can't see giving Anderson the 1st when he ate all those uppercuts in the clinch. They spent half the round staring at each other, maybe moving your hands around and doing capoeira **** while staring at each other wins you those non-exchanges but he didn't land with anything significant.  3rd was clearly Brunson. At worst should've been 29-28 Brunson.

I had it Brunson 29-28. 

Looks like we're gonna get Bisping/Silva 2 for the title.

I feel like Silva needed a HL reel KO to get the title shot. Hard to market him off of that ... but, it's WME. So maybe?

We are getting Swanson-Lobov. Bisping-Silva 2 wouldn't be the worst thing.

This fight still just feels like an audition to face Cyborg ...

de Randamie was actually the only woman in the UFC I thought might have a chance against Cyborg. 

She's solid, strong and competent under fire.

Welp. This win is automatically marred if GDR wins. Super late shot. Hardest shot of the fight.

If this was Herb Dean he would definitely be taking a point away this ref.

Holly stole that round btw. Had GDR a little wobbly.
