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.)

How does the commissions in good conscience allow this single digit IQ moron in Mario Yamasaki to ref fights? Like they know he has a horrible track record with stopping fights, and yet they allow him to ref and put people in harm's way. I don't want to take away a man's livelihood, but Dana should blacklist Yamasaki from reffing events.

Yamasaki could've and should've stopped that 30 seconds earlier. Cachoeira wasn't competitive, and Valentina was brutalizing her. If that was a competitive title fight, MAYBE then you could justify it. But in that fight? No.

10-9 anders. Anders is beating himself here, staying inside Machida's range, not letting his left hand go.

Think he might put his foot on the gas this round though.
