Hopefully I can avoid the spoilers because I won't be able to watch this tonight. Still, I love the HWs and am hoping to catch this card later!
My main card predictions:
Rothwell by 3rd round TKO
Gonzaga by 1st round KO
Ngannou by UD
Tybura by UD
Pokrajac by 1st round TKO
Stanciu by 1st round submission
If I was asked about the main event a year ago I'd go with Dos Santos. However, Dos Santos really looked like shit against Overeem. Whereas Rothwell looked like a beast against his last three opponents including Overeem!
As for the other fights, Gonzaga looked pretty good in his last one so I'm thinking he keeps up his momentum. Kind of rooting for him since he has a gym in MA. The Ngannou and Tybura fights aren't super interesting to me with the names involved, but still they are HWs. I'm hoping for KOs there, but predict them to drag out. Also, despite his epic mustache Johnson sucks as a fighter. I'm really interested in the last two fights. Despite being pretty lackluster in UFC so far, Pokrajac has apparently been f***ing shit up in Eastern Europe recently. I'm expecting him to continue this tonight. For the women, going by her 5-0 stats, Stanciu comes off as a Romanian SW Ronda Rousey, especially since 3 of those wins were first round submissions including two by armbar!

Only got home from work in time to see the main event, I'll spoiler my thoughts for those who still haven't and want to see the fight. {Spoiler}Some shades of the old JDS in that fight. Not gonna count down the days until his next title reign or anything like that but easily the best we've seen of him since the Cain fights. |

It was a weird main event because I thought no version of Rothwell beats JDS, but JDS has looked bad in his last few fights so who knows.
Rest of the card...well it's behind us now.

Damn! I went 1-5 in my predictions. This is why I don't bet on sports.
JDS actually looked really good out there. Shame for Rothwell.

Finally watched the entire main card and that should be the last last time we see Gonzaga in the UFC.
