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

As far as beating prime Fedor,yeah most likely,that's the evolution of the sport but people don't judge goat's by who would win it's how good you were during the era you compete in.

I don't know about that. Velasquez may not be the same fighter he was when he held the belt. Guy has gone through multiple knee injuries and recently had to have spinal surgery. With all those injuries piling up, one has to wonder if he can use his wrestling as effectively as he used to as well as if his conditioning is up to snuff. Plus, despite this minor setback tonight, NGannou is still very much in the picture as a contender. With more training to fix his holes in grappling and conditioning at the UFC performance institute, I could see NGannou being a nightmare for Velasquez. Not only that, there is still Werdum, Overeem, Hunt, Volkov and Lewis to contend with.

You won't remember when the last minute change worked out as much as it didn't because it's frustrating when it doesn't and when it works out it's kind of expected.It's like if you're running in a race and you are good at it,you're not going to remember passing people as much as when people pass you.In the long run you were probably right more than you think.

"I'm not the Scariest, but I'm the Baddest"
These words carry more weight than people realize. Glad Stipe shut up the attempted and hard core "Let's Poster Boy this guy and not show proper respect to the champ" from Dana. The Belt move was just.
Don't get me wrong, I enjoy me some Ngannou, but you could tell he was told to "Start Talking ****" and get added pressure to make him a "personality" to be a poster boy in the UFC. He did not know da wae.
Hope he goes back to how he was before the UFC Hype Job Treatment.
