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.

I feel really bad. I desperately wanted Rampage to win that fight. Jones' reach is just too much for anyone in my opinion.

Well, Jones certainly isn't the greatest LHW of all time, as some were suspecting. I'll take Evans, Machida and Hendo over him. His wrestling did not impress and his striking is just a range game.

Machida will NOT beat Jon Jones, Rashad is possible, Hendo is possible as well.

Diaz had a better submission than Jones and deserves the bonus more

@minotauro Hendo's just as one dimensional of a striker as Rampage except with a smaller reach. Good luck.
Jon Jones has never been taken down and has shown to eat wrestlers for lunch. Doubt rashad has anything for him.
Machida has a chance but not if he backpedals like he usually does.

rampage never had a chance. plus jones is still 23. when or if he fights hendo there will be an 18 year difference.

Machida has better TDD than Rampage, sounds silly but is true, his footwork is so good. He's a better striker than Page as well, and stylistically he'd do really well against Jon on the feet.

Kid's the real deal. He'll be on top of the LHW division for quite a while.

Damn it i dislike jones. Its so much easier to hate a guy that isnt consistently kicking the crap out of my favourite fighters.

@mino, I love Machida, but I don't think he'd be able to get within range of Jones.

I don't understand how Jones, who plays a distance game, would have any trouble with Machida, who dislikes closing the distance. How the hell would Machida hit him?
