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.

I thought Cerrone would win impressively but he made that look too easy.

I agree Cerrone/Pettis is probably the only fight that really makes sense for December.

Gilbert pulling out of his fight with Masvidal to fight Cerrone would be pretty sweet though..

No doubt about it Greg, the top fighters fight more often than those of LHW.

LW is the best division right now

We need to see some old school 8-man 1-night lightweight tournaments in order to quickly clear things up.

I don't think Siver is really going to get anywhere near the top again.  I doubt the UFC is going to try and build him back up. Rather, they're going to feed him to someone that they want to promote.

@Gregory I think that's what they were trying to do with his fight against Sotiropolous. Just Siver was able to get the upper hand and take the win. After that he snuck by Matt Wiman and now just ran head first into Donald Cerrone. Siver basically rode his win over G-sot up to this point. I don't think the UFC has taken care giving him favorable match ups just fans latched on to him for some reason.

BJ Penn taking a long time to figure out what to say: ........ I gotta be smarter.

BJ Penn:  I gotta make him quit.

Nick Diaz:   There's no quit in me.


Haha that was a classic pre-fight interview segment.

@Live2wrestle Those fights sound like step up in competition for Siver. Really the most he should do is a step sideways or back but not up. I would rather see him in against Rafael Dos Anjos or Jeremy Stephens.
