Predictions: 8 of 11 Winners, 3 Perfect, 505 Points | Tied for 174th

The fighters are weighed in (2 bad misses by Munhoz and Prezerez) and we're set for Saturday night.

Some quality match-ups here, even if it continues the 2018 trend of weird/underwhelming main events.

(Update: Dodson hasn't accepted the fight with Munhoz. Co-main is off.)

It looks like Prazeres has missed 3 of his last 4 weigh-ins at 155 weighing in at 158; 156; 159; & 161 in his last 4 fights. He should have to move back up to WW. It isn't fair to his competition that he has regularly got to enter the ring with an added size advantage.

Yeah, they should have probably forced Prazeres up after his last fight and I wouldn't even take the fight when he misses by 5 pounds.

No surprises here. His entire boring fight strategy revolves around being many pounds heavier and then laying on top of his opponent to tire them out. Cut him. Give Desmond someone who might show us how good the guy is, he's clearly not ****. Matched him up with a fat blanket. Boring.

I'm banking on Green stuffing his takedowns and beating him up, dude's a hell of a wrestler.

Them long legs are going to help defend the TD's fo sho. I rate Green but this fight can go crawl in a ditch a die. Prazares is about as exciting as a sleeping cow dreaming about grass. I just can get excited for this.

I agree Prazeras needs to be made to go to WW no doubt.

Also Vera vs De Andrade Silva has moved to the Main Card. Viana and Stevenson is now on the TV prelims and Figueiredo vs Morales will be the lone FP fight starting at 7:30pm ET

Why are there two different threads for the entire card, plus a third for just the Machida-Anders fight?

^ I'm not a very active poster but this is the Official Discussion Thread. And from what I've noticed there's always an individual thread for a particular fight. Not sure on the 3rd...didn't even notice.

I hope Machida can get it done, though I doubt it... Santos vs Smith should be a violent battle. Tim Means gunna bring those elbows and knees!

With the current state of the LHW Division and all the killers at MW. Machida should go up where that elusive style and speed would be a factor. Even if he beats Anders he'll probably still be on the outside of the Top 10. At LHW he could put 2 or 3 wins together and be a contender. Just a thought.

I heard the Prazeres/Green fight was in jeopardy. Prazeres can only weigh 171lbs tonight. Does anybody know if this fight is still expected to take place.

@Detroit, If that's the case, there's a chance that fight is off. I would guess Prazeras is upwards of 180 by now and if he does stay down at 171 he's going to gas hard imo.

Nice TKO for Figueredo, good to see a flyweight with some power.
