Predictions: 5 of 10 Winners, 0 Perfect, 250 Points   |   Tied for 1100th

UFC 142 is coming to you live tonight from that mysterious yet seemingly awesome place called Rio. Jose Aldo defends his belt against Chad Mendes in a compelling featherweight main event.

Things are scheduled to kick off at AROUND 7:30 eastern time for a single prelim fight on Facebook.com/UFC.  Then at 8:00 eastern time you can catch 4 fights for free on FX (for the first time, FX, not Spike!) . Finally at 10:00pm 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.

Might give the edge in rd 2 to Stout but it was close. He may really want to make it convincing if he wants to take a decision against a Brazilian in Brazil.

I never get tired of hearing Rogan talk about the steel muay thai cups and compression cups. Wish more fighters would listen to him.

Stout finally starts going for it with 20 freaking seconds left.  Too little too late.

Tavares fought well. He won this with a pretty clear cut 29-28 decision in my humble opinion.

Damn, first loss on the card.  I feel bad for Team Thompkins after Stout's performance and what happened to Hominick.
