UFC Fight Night 82 predictions

A pay-per-view without its headliner turns into a Fight Night as the UFC is forced to change the numbering and kind of card they hold before the Super Bowl to account for the card's decline due to injuries. A welterweight bout headlines the show in the original main event's absence.

Where: MGM Grand Garden Arena, Las Vegas, NV.

When: Saturday, the two-fight Fight Pass card starts at 7 p.m. ET, the four-fight Fox Sports 1 preliminary card starts at 8 p.m. and the six-fight main card kicks off at 10 p.m.

Thompson appears as dynamic on his feet as ever, but one wonders if it's really enough.
