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 love the main event but this is the fight of the night for me or I should say the fight I look forward to the most.

@Kuma yeah, I know the feeling. It was a close fight overall anyway, it's hard to make a statement against a definitive score. Both had their moments during the rounds, sometimes it comes down to what (aggression, damage, leg kicks...) you're watching more closely.

This fight should have been the co-main event. I'm guessing Bermudez is more marketable than Rivera.

You have to give 1 to Rivera but with 2 knockdowns is it 10-8.

I wonder if 2 knockdowns is enough for a 10-8 with the new scoring

Oooo closer round, if there was no 10-8 round 1 it could be 1-1

29-28 Rivera, imo. those knockdowns aren't worth 10-8 to me. Almeida was fine right after it.

I got Rivera 29-28 as far as 10-8 first idk because he hurt him bad twice but was semi competitive.I think safe bet is 29-28 Rivera possibly 29-27

How long is Cody out? They're just going to re-book TJ vs Cody is what I thought.

Cruz vs. Rivera is a great #1 contender fight.
