Predictions: 10 of 13 Winners, 6 Perfect, 675 Points   |   10th Place

The fighters are weighed in and we're set for a solid night of fights on Big FOX.

Will Weidman break the streak? Will Gastelum become an insta-contender at 185 lbs? Will Elkins continue to defeat men he has no right to beat?

170 or bust for Kelvin imo but still nasty at MW.He looked slow tonight but I think that's more Chris than Kelvin.He manhandled him from the get go and didn't let him get off.

This fight proved that Kelvin is too small to fight a top wrestler at 185.

awesome finish. apart from the end of the first round, Weidman controlled the entire fight.

I could do without the whole family circus celebration, though.

@Kuma

Reach advantage played a big role here. Glad Chris won this.
