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!

Picked Dern but I hope she gets KTFO. I have decided she is an entitled lazy bushpig who squanders opportunities she is gifted by virtue of having a nice rack.

What a fight!! 10-9 gastelum for the knockdown but I think he got 10-8ed in the first and needs to finish

That was the correct decision, and Jacare would lose to Whittaker and Romero again anyway.

*** Sal D'Amato?? I could see 28-28 for a draw but how do you give Jacare 2 rounds? 

Just glad Kelvin won. Great fight but too close for comfort for this Kelvin fan

Weird. I thought that was a 29-28 for Jacare for sure. 1st for Jacare, 2nd for Kelvin and Jacare was landing power shots for the most of the 3rd round despite looking gassed as ****. Can't see Kevlin winning the 3rd at all.
