Predictions: 10 of 13 Winners, 3 Perfect, 620 Points | 19th Place

UFC Fresno kicks off Saturday night at 630pm ET on UFC Fight Pass. The action then switches to FS1 at 8pm ET for the rest of the card.

Nice one, here. Not huge names but great match-making and a lot of action fighters.

It'll also air at the same time as the great ESPN boxing match between Lomachenko and Rigondeaux.

Hopefully that glacial FS1 pacing times out right and we can see both.

lots of potential upsets on this card. I predict a not-so-stellar night for my picks.

rd 2 was probably 10-8 Giles under the new scoring. Rd 1 Neto probably took due to control on the ground even though he was outstruck for the first half. 19-18 Giles

Solid second round from Giles after being held down by Neto on the ground in the first. He really made solid use of his reach and did a lot of damage with those strikes.

good first round by Neto, but a 3 year-layoff is a hell of a ring rust to brush off against a heavy-hitter as Giles.

Giles could've probably ended this on the second round, but went the cautious way picking him apart from the outside, which I guess was the right path seeing how easily Neto took him down when he got the chance.
also good reffing by Trigg, he noticed Neto was about to get KO'ed and stood really close waiting for it.

Nice win for Giles. He put on a striking clinic in that 3rd round and Neto just ate every punch with no attempt to use head movement. Neto is getting cut after this loss me thinks.

@vazio Yeah that stand up was garbage. Ramos didn't even have a chance to pass guard.

Ramos was awesomelly quick at getting his back and locking that sub, good thing it happened so soon into the start of the round too, because he was looking tired as hell.

Gruetzemacher is another fighter that I see potentially getting cut tonight with that loss. Which sucks for him because that fight was arguably 1-1 going into the third.
