    PRELIMINARY CARD-UFC Fight Pass, 5 p.m. ET

    Cody Gibson vs. Douglas Silva
    Ivan Jorge vs. Josh Shockley

    Mir vs Bigfoot has zero shot at going the distance. If Mir gets KO'd again he should probably retire, although they might just keep him around to do that 3rd Lesnar fight. I actually think Mir has a shot in this one, Bigfoot without TRT just got KTFO by Arlovski and looked terrible in that fight. Barboza/Johnson is probably the most interesting fight, Barboza has been on fire since that Cerrone loss and Johnson has been out almost a year since he beat Melvin. Winner of this fight will be close to a title fight, Barboza vs Pettis would be awesome.

    Cezar Mutante is always exciting and should beat Alvey and get a step up. Khabilov/Martins is another one of the fights im really looking forward too, both super underrated LW's whose only losses have been to top guys. Alcantara should steam roll his opponent, he should be fighting a top 10 guy as hes ranked 8th currently but guys like Michael McDonald and Eddie Wineland seemed to have disappeared. Sean Strickland is making his WW debut, he hasnt fought since that awful fight against Luke Barnatt where he probably should have gotten the loss but he broke his hand in the fight. Ponzinibbio was one of the better guys from TUF Brazil 2, should be a good fight.

    Andrade is one of my favorite female fighters to watch, she has a similar style to Wand. Reneau had that win over the human punching bag on the New Years card(Alexis Dufresne). Wont be surprised to see Andrade take this to the ground as she is very good there as well. Dwyer is coming off that brutal head kick KO loss to Tumenov and Macario was dominated by Magny in his last fight, Macario is still young though id probably lean towards him. Trator is dropping to FW after beating Akbarh Arreola, MDLT is coming off a quick submission loss that was rescinded after his opponent Brian Ortega popped for PED's. Tough fight to call. Surprised Waldburger is still fighting as hes been KO'd MANY times and the guy he is fighting hits very hard, but also has been submitted quite a bit. I see either TJ getting KO'd or him winning by sub or decision.

    Gibson is pretty solid, had that TKO of Johnny Bedford and was beating Manny G. before getting submitted late. Silva took his debut a weight class above his norm on short notice against Tukhugov, who is a savage and still did decent. Tough fight to pick but id go with Gibson.

    Dont care about Shockley vs Batman, Brazilian will probably win by boring decision.

    BTW This Card is on a Sunday. I like that personally but i know it sucks for a lot of the Euros.

    Really only care for the co-main event. Mir and Big Foot? interest level is at -20 for that. Mir should retire, he's lost like 4 in a row, I understand he's got fans and it's nostalgic but guy just can't hang with the top HW's. Big Foot wins...but he'll never be a champ, even if he fought JDS or Miocic he'd lose.

    would rather see Barboza vs Johnson in the 5 rd main event slot. rest of the card is rather forgettable.

    There are a few names that I'm interested in: Khabilov, Strickland, Alcantara, and maybe Waldburger.

    i'm fine with either guy winning. Johnson has been looking really good as of late.
    but barboza is closer to a title shot.

    barboza vs pettis would be amazing

    Waldburger was KO'd by the elevator floor while cutting weight and won't fight tomorrow. I fear for that dudes well being at this point anyways

    I wonder if the UFC would fast track Barboza with a finish over Johnson tonight. I know the Cerrone loss is still fresh and obviously Khabib deserves a shot if he wins, but Pettis said he wants 3 fights this year and Cerrone/Khabib is 10 weeks after Pettis/RDA. If they did that fight on the Fox show in Chicago at the end of July then Khabib/Cerrone could still fight the winner by the end of the year.

    Hate the idea of a champ waiting months for a #1 contender fight, should be the other way around...

    Silva looked absolutely horrendous at the weighins yesterday, surprised he didn't gas a lot sooner

    I like the ref letting guys attempt to recover like that, too many times you see them jump in and stop the fight right away. Might have let a few extra shots go but its better then calling it too soon.
