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.

If DC was younger he would reign for years with how the LHW division is.

Volkan should literally go home and grapple until his next fight.

come on man. Nobody other than Jones has had anything in way of grappling for DC, no shame in getting dominated on the mat by DC.

If Phil Davis and Ryan Bader never left they actually could have competed for a UFC title.

I'm very intrigued too.I have Stipe-KO-3 but I have no clue but I certainly lean toward the big (well bigger than i'd expect) underdog.My problem with Stipe in this fight is when he gets hit hard,like nasty,he fires back and wild,that's like the last thing he should do here especially cause he gets hit early often.I'm banking on Stipe fighting smart and grinding a bit but I have no clue.I think Stipe is the better fighter and if he mixes it up and fights smart I think he can get the W.Holy ****,this should be awesome,I just hope it doesn't last like 12 seconds and we see some of the questions answered from N'Gannou.If it finishes super early i'm gonna be annoyed,we gotta see this guy in a fight.

Ngannou throws to wild. He should have set them instead of rushing
