Predictions: 7 of 10 Winners, 2 Perfect, 425 Points   |   Tied for 244th

Tonight's the night! Bones Jones and Rampage Jackson will put all the talking aside and see who can actually deliver inside the Octagon.  And as is usual these days for the UFC, you can catch ALL the fights on the card live.  Things are scheduled to kick off first at 6:40pm eastern time for the first 4 prelims on Facebook.com/UFC.  Then at 8:00pm eastern time, make your way over to SpikeTV for two televised prelims.  Finally at 9:00pm eastern time is the main card starting on pay per view.

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! 
REMINDER: No requesting of or posting links to illegal streams of the Spike TV or Pay Per View broadcast.

No surprise with the finish.  VERY surprised with Hughes improved stand-up.  Koscheck is just so powerful as a striker.  My girlfriend pointed out that Hughes was tapping Koscheck's left leg.

I don't absolutely hate Koscheck.  I thought he was hilarious on TUF 1.  He also does a lot to promote fights, but rarely delivers in the trash-talking aspect.

Matt, just retire. Save us the heartache. I don't like seeing you get knocked out.
