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.

"I live, I die, I live again."

So what.  Let him get a ton of title defenses like Anderson first. 

Plus, the divisions are constantly changing.  Just look at 170.  Yesterday Dan Hardy was fighting for the title because they didn't have anyone else.  Today they can't figure out who might be next.

I'd rather see Aldo defend his belt a bunch of times than risk messing up his momentum by switching weight classes.

Not to further beat the dead horse, but if a fight (like tonight's Silva fight) is overturned to a no contest, is it retroactively reflected in our percentages?  Would I change from being 6-4 tonight to 6-3?

Barboza got fight of the night and knockout of the night. That makes 4 award bonuses since being in the UFC for around a year. Same as Cerrone!

They're talking about TUF Brazil now.

Is there any chance at all that Vitor doesn't absolutely destroy Wanderlei Silva?

Florian is talking about his retirement.  He apparently has constant numbness in his legs.  If he ends up needing surgery, he probably won't be back.  If not, he might come back after all.
