Note: Jorge Rivera vs. Alessio Sakara was cancelled at the very last minute due to a Sakara illness. Flu-like symptoms. Ludwig-Osipczak was promoted to TV as a result.

Holy ****, this started sooner than I thought it would. I knew it would be early but I figured a few hours later than it is.

Alright, so I'm going to try and just look at the updates for the prelims and then stop and watch the tape delay, so hopefully I can resist.

impossible.

I have a feeling this is going to be a really really bad card for me. 0-1 already.

Way to not be a Savage, but most of my camp I think had Rocha except me.

No kidding. McKray you useless lump! A kneebar?!

Geez, one and out for my boy McCray. Back to UWC, I guess. (Kneebar at 2:21)

I feel an extra burden because king mirrored my picks lol. I just have a bad feeling that I'm going to go like 0-11 on this one.

He's prolly cut after that, now let's hope the Kimbo slayer fails here.

Oh he's definitely gone. Including the TUF Finale he's now on the Losing Streak Of Doom and his contract almost certainly isn't guaranteed like it would've been had he won.

Petruzelli has been Terminated. Vemola TKOs the Kimbo Slicer at 3:46.

If some main card fights end quickly these first 2 fights should make TV.

0-2.....

F***!!!!!! 0-2 to start

Ouch, I think I had Vemola tko but then I recently changed it to a first round sub, that's still 7 though.

And prolly a short stint for Seth, he's prolly cut, (literally too on the nose)

need my boy kimmons for the win here.

0-2 start for me, ugh!!!!!!!!!

ehh

0-3, this is fun.

Noke didn't "KO" him, but he did submit him. RNC at 1:33 of R2.

Let's see if the change hurts me here, changed to slick nick first round sub.

I went with Osipczak, a little wary of Ludwig coming off injury plus it's in Europe so I sense judging might be favorable towards Osipczak.

I won't be able to update the first post again until late tonight (gotta work) so at least the TV fights will be spoiler-free until around 11 PM ET tonight. Enjoy the fights.

Looks like they moved it up to das german's fight.

Krauss vs. Scanlon is on now, it's going to round 3.

Man I had Krauss UD then changed it to first round sub now it looks like it might be a Krauss UD.

3 30-27s, Krauss. Seemed to be closer than scores indicate.

BREAKING NEWS: MMAjunkie.com has confirmed with UFC sources that an illness has forced Alessio Sakara out of his co-main-event bout with Jorge Rivera. The fight has been scrapped from tonight's card.

oh **** off. That was one of the only fights I was really looking forward to.

Was the hot bout too.

2-2 with 16 points Starting to do a bit better. Sucks that Alessio had to pull out.
