Predictions: 6 of 9 Winners, 3 Perfect, 400 Points   |   Tied for 240th

The UFC's first FUEL card is coming to you live tonight from the mysterious place known as Omaha, Nebraska. In the main event we've got a compelling welterweight matchup between Jake Ellenberger and Diego Sanchez. One of these guys might be very close a title shot.

Things are scheduled to kick off at AROUND 6:20 eastern time for 4 prelim fights on Facebook.com/UFC.  Then at 8:00 eastern time you can catch 6 main card fights on FUEL TV.

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!

Well, there were about 30,000 watching Stann on Fuel.

There were 5 million watching Jones on Fox. He was nervous.  Jones has been much smoother than that.

Stann did seem pretty comfortable announcing.  More-so than a Bonnar or as-has-been-said, Jones.

My worst UFC card in a long time. Damn. Rocha and Watson disappointed me. Herman crushed me. And he was doing so well.

@gregory Condit and Ellenberger are pretty evenly matched.....for two rounds. Ellenberger was getting his ass kicked at the end of round three tonight. In a five round fight, he'd be massacred after the third. Condit would get the tko in the fourth or fifth. Ellenberger can't finish him, that was proven in their first fight.

I can't complain about Magalhaes/Means though. I didn't do my research and it bit me in the ass, haha.

kallous, crumx made a comment on twitter about Miocic looking like a mutant offspring of Barnett and CroCop and Barnett actually responed. He thought it was pretty funny.

Didn't do too well.  Switched a pick last minute that would have given me a perfect instead of a loss if I had left it alone.

What a great event. I didnt do to bad. Underestimated Dillashaw and thought Herman would do better.

How do you embed your picks?

@grizzly open the "img" tab above the comment box,copy the image URL and then post it......if it doesn't show up then you might need to repeat the process once more! That usually works for me....

*Btw the picks link is on the right hand side if you scroll up.......just in case you didn't see it!

I did pretty well on the fighters a lot of the methods cost me tonight. The two fights I missed were a couple of the closer fights tonight so I don't fell bad.
