The action kicks off on UFC Fight Pass at 630pm ET with three prelims. From there, it picks up on FOX Sports 2 at 8pm with another four prelims before transitioning over to FOX Sports 1 for the main card at 10pm. 

Should be some solid finishes tonight (knock on wood.)

Enjoy!

This is one of the best cards of this year, alongside Werdum vs Browne.

Some interesting talent fighting tonight.  Main and co-main are the most compelling I think.  Probably how it should be, but sometimes not the case.

This card should be a good one, top to bottom. Think im gonna go out and watch this one, have a few drinks, and watch the NBA playoff games as well. Brown gonna starch Silva and make his case for a a title shot or eliminator fight...

I never really been a fan of hockey, nothing wrong with it, just never really watched it enough to like it. I dont mind the highlights on Sportscenter, and the big hits that send dudes into the glass tho lol

Not confident in my Montague, Lapsley, or Cariaso picks. Maybe Costa as well

I went pretty conservative except for Potts.  Watched a couple of his fights, he looks at least somewhat athletic and strong, but will probably gas in a round.
