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.

Picking Assuncao. Gotta think he's looking for blood after fighting all the way back to the UFC.

Assuncao came out to Burning Heart from Rocky 4. That basically assures he should win.

they always seem to forget Florian's front kick vs Huerta at UFC 87



i know it wasn't a KO but it's been done before Anderson and Machida did it lol... and more than likely before Florian did it

Yagin threw a lot of good shots from his back but I still got to give the first round to Assuncao. Not a really eventful fight so far.

Assuncao won the round but he didn't do much.

Great ground control by Assuncao.  Something tells me he's looking for an Anderson Silva-esque knockout.
