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.

Dude's hand speed is just on another level, he's better off the center line too. Not surprised it went that way.

Absolutely no cause to stand them up when he did. That just sent a guy a few miles further down the road toward CTE, which may or may not have happened, or at least might not have been so bad, if he'd done his job properly.

I think this is more of a case o Homasi striking defense being horrible than Alhassan being a killer. Amazing KO, but I think that's bound to happen if you choose to brawl with a crazy powerful dude and doesnt defend yourself properly.

man, that's tough to score. Could be anything.

I'll say 29-28 Bochniak, won't be surprised with 30-27 Bochniak though.
