    Main event is such a tough one to call, really hoping Rockhold pulls it off though.

    Fantastic card... such a shame Romero fell out. Every time the UFC has a dope card I just expect at least one good fight to fall apart.

    Drinking with non-UFC fans so I'll probably get this spoiled before I get home to watch it anyways.

    DK picks are super tough today. Going heavy on Cub, PVZ, Cummins and Jim Miller(because of price). Still PVZ/Herrig and OSP/Cummins are close too. Herrig being cocky reminds me of how she was acting before her last fight against Randa Markos and then she got smoked.

    Just a heads up the FP prelims start at 4:30, so 25 mins. And then it move to FOX at 6 ET.

    I have never seen Felice fight, and I have seen PVZ fight once (UFC debut). PVZ is super green. She has techniques but very sloppy. Good pressure, but has a long way to go. I figure a vet like Felice, who has a good Muy Thai record, should be able to light her up on the feet. I am saying that with never seeing her fight. But I get the feeling from reporters and analysts, that they don't have much confidence in Felice's skill set. On the other hand much of the media exaggerate PVZ's skills. She got a bonus for an exciting fight, even though it was very sloppy.

    I think Swanson will be too powerful for Holloway. Interesting fight, but I think Cub is more well rounded.

    I am starting to have more confidence in Rockhold, he did his homework. He has a game plan... Its just a matter of executing it.
    Is he skillful enough to implement his game? I think so... but one mistake and Machida will take him out.
    If Luke stops Machida, that would be a very impressive feat. If he can look better than Weidman did, the hype for that fight will be huge.

    from seen felice on the ultimate fighter I hope paige smashes her but tough fight to call
    I have swanson i think hes just too big a step up from the competition holloway has just beat
    main event is a tough one, did machida have a tough cut looked in pain yesterday before hitting the scales?
    a rockhold win be better for having more contenders in the title picture but I hope machida wins, rockhold still salty about that vitor loss and doesnt shut up about it

    Looked like he winced, would say rib injury if anything. Who knows though, might be nothing. That being said Machida isnt the type to pull out of a fight either, dont think he ever has.

    Im expecting PVZ to be quite a bit improved from her last fight. Shes training with Team Alpha Male and shes really young.

    Brandao is coming off the Dublin main event loss as well. Both speak to how stacked this card is, on a normal Fight Night both these fights are televised.

    edit: Truck should think about a WW move, looks a little flabby.

    WW is such a deep division. I mean Tim Means probably isnt top 30 and dude is legit as f---.
