But wait, that's not all... you also get all the preliminary card fights streaming at Facebook.com/UFC beginning at 5:30pm eastern time. Come on down to Tapology and discuss the fights.

Your prediction results and leaderboard ranking will automatically show up in any posts made here. If you want to embed your full listing of picks you can do that also.   The top of the leaderboard will be available in the right column on this thread.

Enjoy the fights and good luck in your predictions!

I was shocked at every UFC I've attended when people pay several hundred dollars for a ticket, then sit up at the bar till the main card starts.
It just doesn't make sense to me.

@geez, I agree! Even when BigJ and I went to the Diaz v. Daley Strikeforce event here in San Diego, it was crazy to see how empty the arena was until the main card. Why pay the money if you don't want to get there early and watch all of the action!?

Edwards always fades as the fight goes on. He already seemed to start to fade at the 3 minute mark.

@geez Yeah, I know exactly what you mean, you pay to see fights, why waste money by not showing up until the main card, which you can just pay $45 to watch on TV instead? It doesn't make any sense at all... I always want to be the very first one there at the UFC events, I've showed up like an hour before the doors opened, that's how excited I've been in the past, lol.
