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!

@Mike I guess sub might have been the smarter pick but that was Formiga's first finish in the UFC (I don't count the headbutt with Jorgensen that for sure led to the RNC) and considering Ulka recently went 15 with Wilson Reis it wasn't a bad pick.Formiga just looked amazing on the ground tonight and the timing on the td was beautiful.Not a bad pick,not our best :D

God damn that was a powerful punch by Ishihara.  Surprised that wasn't a KO.

10-8 Yashabo

Solid round from Ishihara.  He looked phenomenal on both the feet and the ground.

19-18 Dy

Outside of that knee to the balls, Dy performed well that round.  Way to make up for getting dropped.

29 - 27 Yashabo

If Dy didn't keep hitting Ishihara in the nuts, he could have had a chance to steal round three.

ehh, I don't know guys, all kinds of mixed feelings about this one. I picked Yashabo and I actually find his ladies' man persona amusing. 

I know this will be a controversial opinion but I honestly think that should've be a draw. Ishihara milked the **** out of that last low blow, which by the way is the only one I think it really landed, the second glazed it and the first one was a total legal shot, in my opinion, from watching the replays.

without the point deduction, it should be 28-28, since the first round was a 10-8 Ishihara.
