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.)

I picked Prazeres and switched to Green just because he took this fight. And even took it after they told Prazeres he couldn't come in over 173lbs and he still came in at 180lbs. I hope Green smashes him. And they need to make this non-weight making fool move up. No way should he be allowed to fight at Lightweight again. He makes Hendricks and Gastelum both look good when it comes to missing weight.

Goddard is normally a solid ref, so I'm not sure I didn't miss something.

Green sure knows how to protect his neck. I don't know how he survived any of the attempted chokes, let alone all of them.

Today I learned that being twice as big as your opponent helps in a fistfight.

How they heck did Prazeres ever fight at Lightweight? Wait he doesn't he fights Lightweights that weight a lot less than him. I can't stand him.

30-27 prazeres. Didn't make weight, doubt it would have made much difference even if he had.

29-28 Prazeres. I feel bad for Green since he should have not accepted this fight, but it is what it is, Prazeres is a dangerous little dude.
