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!

^Jimmy Smith I've been saying for a long time is an awesome commentator. Look at the cast over at Bellator be had to deal with. 80% of the prelims I'm sure he had to go on the fly, how is it possible to know those 2-4 vs 1-4 preliminary fighters. Thought he did a fantastic job with Bellator. Very educated in all aspects of the sport. Loved how he was unbias and gave his score for each Round. 

I didn't order this PPV, is he still doing that or is that something the UFC had him stop?
