Predictions: 10 of 13 Winners, 6 Perfect, 675 Points   |   10th Place

The fighters are weighed in and we're set for a solid night of fights on Big FOX.

Will Weidman break the streak? Will Gastelum become an insta-contender at 185 lbs? Will Elkins continue to defeat men he has no right to beat?

I think Kyle is super underrated in general (not talking about the odds on this fight they are about what I expect) but he consistently improved very well in CES where iirc he's spent his entire pro career before the UFC.He took that Rosa fight I think on a few days notice?I don't remember exactly but that was a crazy war.He has very good wrestling and boxing basics and that usually proves to be a great base for fast improvements.Kennedy is a good up and comer and has huge potential.Should be a fun fight even though I see it a little slow,but at the same time fun cause both will not stop working.

Kennedy is doing a great job of controlling position here on the ground.

Kennedy is pretty mediocre compared to the division, meh to this fight.

Bochniak making it too easy for him to get those takedowns. Kennedy up 2-0

I have Kennedy winning this, but I didn't think he would be dominating Bochniak like this.  Bochniak is just giving away the takedown and getting overpowered.  I thought it would have been Kennedy to be the one to be on the defensive for grappling, considering how he does a lot of his training in Thailand (which is more noted for having striking oriented camps, although they are becoming more well rounded).

Even if Kennedy does win he isn't going to earn any fans with that kind of performance.

30-27 kennedy

That fight was a big downer considering some of the exciting bouts that started the card.

"I'd like to fight Gray Maynard. I think we match up real well."

Please no.  Don't give Maynard anymore fights.  Guy is showing signs of CTE and it scares me more and more when he gets beaten down in the Octagon.

I just realized that MLB's game of the week between STL and Chicago is on FS1, while the UFC is on FOX.  How so much has changed for the fortunes of both sports.

I agree with you guys.I thought Kennedy would look a little more diverse as he seems to grow a lot each fight but he looked pretty one dimensional, and mediocre in the 3rd.Overall a good and growing performance but showed some potential weaknesses.I thought Kennedy would control the entire fight for the most part but he was getting lit up a bit in the 3rd before the time out.

10-9 Sherman

Very technical round from Sherman.  Winklejohn has improved his striking immensely.

20-18 Sherman.

Sherman is out performing Grabowski on the feet.  Why Grabowski isn't grappling Sherman, I have no idea.  He is fighting so out of character recently.

A little disappointed Sherman couldn't get the finish.
