Predictions: 8 of 10 Winners, 4 Perfect, 565 Points   |   Tied for 21st with 2 others

Well fight fans, we are in for a fun Friday night of fights live from the land of the Rising Sun; as the UFC comes back to the Saitama Super Arena for the first time in two years with Yushin Okami making his UFC return against Ovince St. Preux.  Also, in the Co-Main we have a strawweight contender showdown between Jessica Andrade and Claudia Gadelha, as well as the UFC debut of former Glory Kickboxing Light Heavyweight Champion Gokhan Saki.

All the fighters have weighed in and only Mizuto Hirota has missed weight, although he missed it by 5 pounds (which caused him to get dropped from the card as a result).

The Fight Pass Prelims begin at 7:30 PM EST, with the rest of the card airing on FXX (NOT FS1) at 8:00 PM EST.

WE ROLLING, YEAH!

With the loss of that fight I think the fights start at 8 on FXX and no FP needed.

Close round,could go either way,Abe probably landed more and was cleaner and Lim landing those two big rights.I'd lean Abe but idk with these judges.

Nice. 

I don't care how good or close the fight was, and it was both, if they don't give it to Abe it's a damn robbery.

I wonder if Lim gets cut,that's three in a row and four out of five.Shame cause he's so exciting usually,you could tell he was fighting for his job though he's usually a maniac but no shame in fighting smart with your back to the wall,was still a fun fight.

As far as the decision Lim won the entire last round except for the final rush.Was it enough?Obviously but I kinda feel like Lim won that fight but not a bad decision imo its just what do you score the guy that won the whole round except a few seconds or the guy that came close to finishing the fight?I'm not bothered by that decision and i'd have a tough time picking a winner but would have probably taken Lim tbh.

If I'm UFC, i can forgive the losses to Perry/Magny but you lose to a guy who's 5-0 Professionally making his debut. I think Lim gets cut imho.
