Predictions: 7 of 12 Winners, 6 Perfect, 565 Points   |   Tied for 474th

The fighters are weighed in and one of the main eventers was off the mark. Romero missed weight by 2.7 lbs, meaning he cannot win the Interim title with a victory. Rockhold still can, and the fight is still a go. 

Prelims kick off on UFC Fight Pass at 630pm ET before switching to FS1 at 8pm. 

The PPV main card kicks off at 10pm. 

Enjoy!

Kimura very well done.

I've seen for less a broken arm.

Show man from China is coming next.

Li Jingliang is very entertaining with a very nice record of finishes.

Expecting a great show.

well the reason I picked Matthews is from hes never beat a grappler as good as Matthews and hes not very technical more a brawler and I think at a underdog Matthews can beat him by takedowns or technical
