Predictions: 6 of 11 Winners, 3 Perfect, 375 Points   |   Tied for 455th

It may not be the UFC 137 you were expecting, but it's still UFC 137, dammit!

The next installment of the popular Ultimate Fighting Challenge comes to us live tonight from fabulous Las Vegas, Nevada, with a tantalizing main event between Nick Diaz and BJ Penn.

Things are scheduled to kick off first at 6:15pm eastern time (final time still unknown) for 4 prelims on Facebook.com/UFC.  Then at 8:00 eastern time you can catch a pair of excellent fights on Spike TV. Finally at 9:00pm eastern time, plunk down your hard earned dollars to watch the Pay Per View main card.

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.   Your picks, as well as a link to embed the image, and the top of the site-wide leaderboard will all 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 Pay Per View broadcast.

REMINDER 2: as a courtesy to those not watching Bellator until later, please do not post spoilers in this thread.

what a fight!

I think we've all pretty much come to the conclusion though that Brandon Vera is not the same fighter he used to be.

What happened to Brandon Vera? I had Marshal winning 29-28.  But could see it for Vera.

Even after the win Vera should be cut, he was getting his ass beat by Elliot Marshall...c'mon.

@swick. I agree that was an abysmal performance by Vera.  He didn't look good at all.

I picked Vera to win, but I thought he mighta lost this one.  Guess it was just the third round that really stuck in my head.  Could arguably be a 10-8 round considering how bad he rocked Vera and broke his arm with a submission.
