Predictions: 7 of 10 Winners, 4 Perfect, 525 Points   |   Tied for 219th

The fighters are weighed in and we're set for a solid night of fights over on FS1. 

I believe the whole fight card is going to be on FS1 given the last-minute cancellations. Should be kicking off around 8pm ET.

Enjoy!

Not that I want to lose good fights, but I like 10 fight cards.  Not too much, not too little.

I really wanted to see Alves vs Perry and Sanders vs Arantes though =/ Reyes is pretty good and just fought a few weeks ago but it's just not the same at all of course.Sosnovskiy was an interesting test for Ledet too but at least they got 2 replacements.So this means they only scheduled 11 fights overall..that could have ended up much worse than 10 fights.

I like 13 fight cards but this is ok I guess,I just hate when PPV's end up 10 or 11 fights or even 9 like I think that Dillashaw/Soto card was.Was Arantes "ill" because of the weight cut does anyone know?

Since we don't pay for cards separately around here (it's a fixed price for a month of multiple events) I actually like 10-fight cards a lot more nowadays, it really gets a tiresome with longer cards. Specially with the usual huge delay between fights.

That being said, the cancelation of Alves-Perry is a BIG loss. It was the highlight of the card for me. I guess Alves' brain is thankful for that, though.

Alves is such a big disappointment.

Amazing first round.  Surprised that Hall was able to weather that storm from Jotko considering how many times he has been getting finished in the first round recently.  10-8 Jotko though.  Hopefully he isn't gassed from the amount of offensive output he put on in round 1.

Hall is completely unpredictable, took a major beatdown in the first and came back. I think Jotko punched himself out.
