Predictions:

Carvahlo Decision
Maldonado 3rd Round TKO
Pyle Decision
Alcantara Decision
Gonzaga 2nd Round TKO
Stout 2nd Round TKO

Main:
Etim Decision. This might be the fight in which Barboza finally shows his true contender qualities but I think that Etim survives early and tires Edson out and gets a razor thin decision
E. Silva 2nd Round Sub. Won't be as impressive as his first UFC fight but it will still be impressive
Palhares 1st Round Sub
Belfort 2nd Round TKO. I think Vitor puts Johnson away early in the 2nd.
Aldo 4th Round TKO.

Fight of the Night: Etim/Barboza
KO of the Night: Belfort
Sub of the Night: Silva

Anthony Johnson weighed in 11 pounds overweight so much for the new weight class = easier weight cut

Results:

Arantes Decision (0-1)
Maldonado fight cancelled
Pyle 1st Round TKO (1-1)
Alcantara Decision (2-1)
Gonzaga 1st Round Sub (3-1)
Tavares Decision (3-2) Stout was never able to close the distance til about 15 seconds left in the 3rd.

Main:
Barboza 3rd Round Wheelkick KO (3-3) And thats why he is the brightest prospect in the 155 division. Etim kept in close
Prater 1st Round DQ (3-4) Not sure what Yamasaki looked at? If anything should have been a NC
Palhares 1st Round Submission. (4-4) Almost to a point to what I thought would happen.
Belfort 1st Round Submission (5-4)
Aldo 1st Round KO. (6-4) Just like that. Cool scene after the fight
