Predictions: 6 of 12 Winners, 1 Perfect, 325 Points   |   Tied for 1164th

The fighters are weighed in and although we lost two bouts in the days leading up, we're set for what is easily the best card of the year so far on paper. 

Let's hope it lives up to it.

Prelims kick off around 6pm ET on UFC Fight Pass before switching to FX (NOT FS1) at 8pm. The PPV main card, as always, hits at 10pm. 

Enjoy!

Prelims on FX? Is that new?

Nope, but it has been a while since they used FX

I think the last time FX was used was on a Rousey card.  Possibly Rousey vs Holm.
