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?

DAYUM!  What an upset by Anders.  Why Sapo continues to switch between Orthodox and Southpaw is beyond me.  He gets so exposed when he does that.

It's so weird I was thinking before this fight about how much I liked Peterson (ref) a year ago and how much he's been ******* up since then.Even tonight with fence grabs and eye pokes I have been a little bothered by him and just this whole last year or year and a half he's gone from one of my favorite refs to a questionable ref imo.I would love to see that knee again.

Does anyone have a strong opinion on that knee?It was a bit quick but it looked bad and I didn't get a clear look at it.

@Kuma Yeah man I thought that was an ilegal knee. Too bad there was replay of it.

Weidman training high tech.

Now they have to show Kelvin running through the forest, throwing rocks, and chopping wood.

Tough one i'm leaning Dos Santos 1st and 3rd 29-28 but have a feeling Good gets a split.

Two judges gave round 1 to Dos Santos?

I usually agree with you Vazio but I thought the 1st was close and anything for your countryman.He lit Good up pretty good in the 1st I thought.

I think I might be mixing the 1st and 2nd lol.It's weird sometimes I watch a fight with a judge mentality and sometimes I just watch like oh ****ting the whole time and not caring about trying to score.

No way Dos Santos should've gotten a 30-27 score let alone 2. Good won the 2nd. First either way and Dos Santos the 3rd. So a split is fine but not 2x 30-27's c'mon.
