Predictions: 2 of 5 Winners, 1 Perfect, 150 Points | Tied for 98th

Another Tuesday, another night of fights. Just looking over this card the past couple days and if any of the shows weren't to have a fighter get a contract it might be this one. But we'll see, overall so far the UFC has hit a homerun with it so maybe somebody will surprise me this week.

I see Urso and Espinosa have a no contest against each other. I assume that is why there was a little heat between them there.

Hopefully they can finally get a badly needed light heavyweight off this show. Excited for the main event and JP Buys fighting. Fingers crossed Peterson loses too.

Get stuck doing work and miss the 1st two fights live and Jones tests positive again. Crazy world this MMA is. Those first two fights though, damn!

I had Peterson winning. But it was close. It came down to second round.

Nzechukwu certainly looks the part physically. Very inexperienced though.

what a weird fight. both guys just standing still in front of each other. I'm actually puzzled by the complete lack of lateral movement by Berzin, it's like he's not aware of a third dimension.

If I were Dana tonight I might just take Nzechukwu tonight based on his potential and the fact I'm pissed off and want some new blood in the LHW division.

I just saw the scorecard for Lopez vs. Peterson, two judges gave rd. 3 to Lopez. That round was Peterson's imo. I thought the judges had given Lopez the 2nd rd. to Lopez due to the big knee thag Peterson ate from Lopez before Ocho controlling Lopez for the rest of the round. I gave Peterson rds. 2 and 3. The third rd. for Ocho shouldn't be so hard to score. These judges suck!

Wouldn't have made those choices.

How the main event was a split decision. That was so easy to score. Props to Lopez for getting the contract, he has potential, but Peterson should have got the nod in their fight.

I thought Lopez clearly won rd 1&3. Peterson was tough but Lopez definitely won. I would have picked Santiago for the contract though.
