Predictions: 7 of 11 Winners, 1 Perfect, 415 Points   |   Tied for 534th

Bit of a top-heavy card, but a really nice doubleheader in Boston Saturday night. 

Prelims kick off on UFC Fight Pass at 7pm ET before switching to FS1 at 8pm. The PPV main card, as always, lands at 10pm. 

Time this one right, and the Bellator main event should be ending before the UFC co-main. 

I think people are underestimating Stipe in this one, but it's HW, and I'll be the first to acknowledge that Francis has some of the most frightening power I've ever seen. 

I don't give Volkan much of a shot against Cormier. 

As for the rest of the card, I'm intrigued by Almeida-Font, and I think Kattar is the live dog on the night. Don't sleep on that kid.

Can't wait to see this live.  This is going to be the best UFC card I have gone to yet and I am so glad that I get to see four of my favorite fighters in the co-main and main events.

Lot of fights can go either way. Surprised Barroso and Font are such underdogs.

I can't remember that ************* ref's name,the one that just reffed that fight.Trying to tell Barzola to engage at the end lol.Maybe the worst ref I have ever seen.Down the street from my house at the Hu Ke Lau they had a "Warrior Nation" event.This guy got choked out real bad at the bell of the first round,he was convulsing like crazy,the corner or the ref I forget get the guy awake and the ref hurries him up to start round 2 and sends him back out.Every fight this guy does he does something stupid.
