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.

After Brett Rogers and Jaime Varner lost last night, I'm glad I picked the first two correctly.. Knock on wood.  Got Assuncao winning the next one via 2nd round submission.

Nice Te Huna won. I switched to him after seeing him at the weigh in looks like I made a good decision.

Assuncao looked ready to scrap at the weigh ins. Hope he brings it here. I've got him by decision.

Yagin has a similar head shape to BJ Penn's. Can only bode well for his chin.

Assuncao looking fired up and intense at the weigh-ins solidified my decision to pick him.
