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?

Sherm took his foot off the gas midway in round 2 but at least he didn't take too many shots.

HOLY ******* ****!  THAT COUNTER HOOK KO WAS BEAUTIFUL!

What a great win for Alex Oliveira.

Edit: Wasn't a counter hook, it was a counter uppercut.  Still, that was beautiful timing.

I ended up picking LaFlare because of Alex grappling a lot lately, it almost cost him but he adjusted
