Predictions: 8 of 13 Winners, 3 Perfect, 490 Points   |   Tied for 98th

The fighters weighed in this morning/afternoon and everyone's set for Saturday night. 

Prelims kick off on UFC Fight Pass at 6pm ET before switching to FS1 at 8pm. PPV main card touches down at 10pm. 

Not expecting a terribly competitive main event, but the co-main should be fun and the rest of the main card has some good stuff going on.

@Nomad I thought Dillashaw took three of the five rounds myself in the Cruz fight. But I guess the judges get mesmerized or something by Cruz and just score it for him

Don't see how anyone could take Barao over Cruz. Dillashaw showed that Barao is vulnerable to footwork, cutting angles, level changes, all the sort of things Cruz does better than almost anyone else in MMA.

Dominick Cruz looks like a wild animal closing in on it's prey. Movement, often erratic but oddly has an instinctive flow to it. I used to compare him to Prince Naseem Hamed but my god, he has an even more complex and bizarre series of movements. I can see how people don't find him the most exciting when you have guys like John Lineker, Jon Dodson, Thomas Almeida out there doing their thing but Cruz is one of the fighters I enjoy watching the most out of any combat sport.

Man I really hated faber after supporting  him since WEC cause he said racist remarks against irish people in some interview for cheap hype , but all week and there I feel bad for him .. without him bantam weight / lighter weights really wouldn't have had so much initial momentum ( takes stars / figures to push interest /numbers ) what ever he picks he's had an epic and pioneering career not just in MMA but in wrestling too ... getting by in one of those sports never mind 2! is hard , reaching pinnacles like him may take an arm or leg .. so big respect to Faber ( and Cruz )

I just block out the Cruz haters like I block out the GSP haters. Dominance rarely reaches those levels. They're in a league of their own. 

KO's are fun. Subs are fun. I watch this sport to see who is the best. Cruz is the best. GSP was the best. End of story.

Bisping should spit on Luke Rockhold before they touch gloves.

I would watch while crying and just hope they went to a razor-thin SD... I'd also be happy if they just refused to touch eachother.

Adding Carla Esparza to the list of TUF winners to win a UFC championship is kind of a technicality because the championship was the prize for winning TUF. She lost the title on her first defense, which I believe is true of all the TUF winners/champions. Keeping in mind TJ didn't win TUF.

I picked Rockhold. Part of me wants to see Bisping win, but the other part wants to see my boy Chris Weidman get revenge and his title back.
