Predictions: 10 of 13 Winners, 1 Perfect, 580 Points   |   Tied for 375th

The fighters are weighed in and everyone but Dern hit the mark. (She missed by 7 lbs this time.)

This card has flown under the radar, but it's growing on me by the hour. Maybe it's just because there's been a dearth of quality cards in the last couple months. 

Prelims kick off on UFC Fight Pass at 615pm ET before switching to FX at 8pm. 

The PPV main card, as always, touches down at 10pm. 

Enjoy!

Aliev's face looks like hell.  Alves absolutely beat the **** out of him.

That Hermansson finish was fantastic! Aliev eye was a mess, as swollen as I've ever seen it.

Yeah that's about as bad a mouse as you will see. Be surprised if his orbital bone isn't fractured.

I think Zaleski has potential, if he can get a finish over Strickland that'll be really impressive.

Zaleski is quietly putting a streak together and picking up performance bonuses on the way. Not sure why they keep dumping him on prelims when he’s an exciting fighter
