    Jon Jones almost ruined what was originally a fantastic card with his little hit and run incident. But after Jones got stripped of his belt thankfully Daniel Cormier was able to step up and keep this card intact.

    Main Card:
    Anthony Johnson vs. Daniel Cormier (Light Heavyweight Title)
    Chris Weidman vs. Vitor Belfort (Middleweight Title)
    Donald Cerrone vs. John Makdessi (Lightweight)
    Travis Browne vs. Andrei Arlovski (Heavyweight)
    Joseph Benavidez vs. John Moraga (Flyweight)

    Prelims:
    John Dodson vs. Zach Makovsky (Flyweight)
    Dong Hyun vs. Josh Burkman (Welterweight)
    Uriah Hall vs. Rafael Natal (Middleweight)
    Rose Namajunas vs. Nina Ansaroff (Women's Strawweight)

    No more TRT so i don't think Belfort can beat Weidman...

    My predictions for the main card and prelims:

    Anthony Johnson will defeat Daniel Cormier by TKO
    Chris Weidman will defeat Vitor Belfort by TKO or submission
    Donald Cerrone will defeat John Makdessi by decision
    Travis Browne will defeat Andrei Arlovski by KO/TKO
    Joseph Benavidez will defeat John Moraga by decision

    John Dodson will defeat Zach Makovsky by decision
    Dong Hyun Kim will defeat Josh Burkman by decision
    Uriah Hall will defeat Rafael Natal by TKO

    Not sure about the women's fight or the rest that are on the Fight Pass prelims

    I usually record it and watch it the next day. The good thing is the PPVs are free in uk though.
