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.

Nice start to the night.  I didn't get a perfect, but still got the KO pick right.  I felt bad for Romero, did you hear the poor guy moaning as he came to?  Ouch.

What the hell just happened?  I feel badly for Romero but ***.  You only try takedowns like that against James Toney.  Unless there's some kind of weird explanation he needs to be cut.

Those were some awful takedown attempts.  Romero really didn't have much going for himself.

That is 2 consecutive 1st round KO defeats inside the minute mark for Romero.  I think he is done.
