Predictions: 8 of 10 Winners, 4 Perfect, 500 Points   |   Tied for 432nd

The fighters are weighed in and while Lee missed by a pound, we're still set for a quality Fight Night from Atlantic City. 

Aspen Ladd also missed on the prelims, her second confirmed miss as a professional. 

We lost the Bibulatov-Sasaki bout today due to a back pain flare-up from the Russian, so the card will proceed with 12 bouts. 

Prelims should kick off on UFC Fight Pass around 7pm ET before switching to FS1 for the rest of the card at 8pm.

Enjoy!

As fight night gets closer my mind has changed.
Lee and ladd r now my 2 favourite picks of the night.
Ironic they both missed.
Sign of things to come?
Lets hope not.

Ufc needs to implement more harsh penalties for
missed weight cuts, cheap shot hammer fists to grounded
Opponents who have clearly gone limp or stiff. fighters
Literally race the ref to get in a couple cheap shots b4 the
Ref can call the fight. I'm amazed no one has been
killed in the octagon yet. Something to look forward to.

Biggest idiot wanna be in the ufc Artem lobov. 
Good riddance!

The Edgar vs Swanson fight is the hardest fight to pick on this card for me. 

Edgar handled Swanson the first fight and this fight should go the same way but still, i'm a little concerned about him. I think that if he loses he gets another nice pay check and calls it a day in front of his hometown crowd. 

I read something recently that said that only 13% of fighters who come back from a knockout loss within 6 months win their next fight.

Good point. People often forget that Branch went three rounds with Rumble Johnson without getting KTFO. That's saying something.

Nakamura needs to throw more than 1 shot at a time. Martin mostly keeps his hands down and his chin up. A 3 or 4 piece might do the trick.

What's up with the NJ crowd? Too early to be that drunk. Do they not have any idea how tough Nakamura is?
