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.)

When I finally give up on Iuri, he goes back to be a wrecking machine. I can't figure that guy out.

About time I had some joy, think I got a perfect on that.

Viana looks good, she's a bit green but has big potential.

Stevenson has no business in the UFC.Sick of them signing TUF fighters and not the great talent out there.

  I will never be a prepper.

When the apocalypse comes, I guess I'll just hide in a subway with a cache of skittles and coke zero, and when that runs out I suppose I'll starve to death.

I guess it depends on the situation  An ELE would make any prepping worthless.

I agree with Vazio! I picked against Iuri based on recent performances and boom he starches Soto.

I agree Kuma! Stevenson had no business in there. So much in fact i have no clue on how to gauge Viana. Is she good? Or is Stevenson so bad that Viana looked great. I'm gonna assume somewhere in the middle but who knows. Lol

Ended up switching to Green too because of the limitations they put on Prazeres. If Green can stay at bay he can pull this off with speed, and endurance. And Green isn't ac slouch on the ground. Not on Prazeres level but if he plays his cards right he can outpoint Prazeres. Hopefully that switch doesn't bite me. They usually do.

I picked Shevchenko by Decision but something tells me she's gonna make a statement tonight. She's the uncrownd Champ imo. She should rule the Women's Flyweight Division when she eventually gets her shot. I see nobody posing much of a threat to her now at her natural weight.
