I'm getting mixed start times. I saw 4:45 CT and then 3:45 CT.

Pretty sure it's 4:45. That's when I normally tune into the prelims

I thought they were moving the ppv's back to their old time? Or has that not started yet?

The PPV is starting at 2am in the UK, and we are normally 5 hrs ahead.

4:45 seems early, thats 9:45 in the UK, they normally start around 10:45

FB says it starts at 6pm et ( 11 pm UK time) that seems about right.

Thats gives them 4 hrs to air 7 fights.

Starting in 2012. Lesnar vs. Overeem is the last ppv starting at 9.

6pm now? Damn. It was saying 4:45 earlier I'm watching Step Brothers to pass the time though, so it's not all bad

4:45 CT is 5:45 ET

It's been along time since I've been excited about a fight card from top to bottom I think tonight is going to be a great night of action and a lot of decisions leading up to the main and co-main

I've got something like 9 decisions heh.

Bonnar/Kingsbury is the new Hot Bout with under an hour until lock.

fuck offff mannnnnnnnnn

I was so happy that it was Story/Kampmann, Kingsbury Bonnar is one of the only fights that I was unsure about.

Margin keeps getting wider and wider over the last few hours, all the late pickers are taking Kingsbury so it's basically a lock to stay as the Hot Bout. I'd prefer it had stayed Story/Kampmann too.

I'm pretty confident in Bonnar, I picked Story but I'm thinking Kampmann might pull the win off, so I'm happy with the change at the moment.

I think I might like the hot bout better as Kingsbury/Bonnar if Kings can take Bonnar down consistently. Although a little worried after seeing Bonnar at the weigh-ins.

Either Kings/Bonnar or Story/Kamp will be tough, but in both fights there is a decent wrestler in both with Kings & Story.

I thought it might end up being Le/Silva, which I will probably for sure lose.

I feel like I need to pick at least one sub on this card.

Have quite a few decisions. I've picked a lot of decisions lately on these last couple of cards now.

I almost picked all decisions on this card just to make a point to myself.

I switched from Torres UD to R2 sub and that's all the late changes I'll make. Hopefully it works out for me, usually doesn't.

One half of my parlay is on the line right away. Hope to have a great night.

Ive only got 4 decisions.

That means you're either going to have a great night or a difficult night, good luck

lately if I feel unsure about how a fight is going to finish I almost always default to UD, especially in the lighter weight classes.

Thanks, if Im right we're in for a great night of finishes.

Assuming Bailey/Castillo is up first, Ive got Castillo UD

I tend to believe that if it doesn't end early it's probably going the distance, and we have safe fighters and let loose fighters so that is a big factor for me.

First first will probably start at :15

nvm the :15

look to be going now

Here we go

I wanted to pick Castillo by tko, but have UD.

Shamar Bailey

Judge's decision

Unanimous/majority decision
