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!

Close first round Sales might edge it out with 2 TDs though he didn't do much with them. Slight edge on striking Kuivanen.
