About 9 hours until the Prelim fights start.
I'll check just before they begin and note down any new entries then leave a post to let everyone know changes and new entries won't be accepted past that time.

I wish it were on free TV. The only way I can watch it free (that I'm aware of) is to watch it in Spanish on ESPN Deportes.

Most pubs/bars show it where I live.
and Watch Wrestling hosts dubious live streams and replays ;-)

I'm a huge UFC / MMA fan, and I was going to be watching today. Now I've got more reason to. :) This is an awesome giveaway idea, and thank you for your generosity.

Hopefully your experience watching and familiarity will help with the predictions. I always think it's a difficult sport to predict, even though there are only a few possible outcomes. Thanks for the entry

Some of those fights did not go anything like I thought they would. It was a very entertaining card, though.

In the past, I did a couple of UFC prediction events 1 2. It's been a while, but time for another one!
This Saturday, January 19th, at 6:30pm ET - UFC Fight Night 143 will begin (prelims at 6:30pm, undercard starts 8pm, main card 10pm)
Countdown to preliminary fights
How to enter/Rules
(KO=knockout, TKO =technical knockout, SUB=submission, or DEC=judges decision)
Table
Prizes
I will add the overall winner on Steam and send a game directly, so winning is based purely on your ability to predict the fights or luck in predicting them.
How to Watch
Not a pay-per-view event this time. I think it's being broadcast on ESPN and ESPN+ in the U.S. If you want to check how to watch in your country, try this page and alter the country in the top right of the page.
You may be able to find another method of watching online, but I am not condoning or encouraging any kind of illegal activity!
Alternatively, soon after the event (or sometimes after each individual fight) you can probably see some of the highlights on sports news sites, or via clips and gifs on sites like the MMA subreddit.
Fingers crossed I haven't made any mistakes in this wall of text!
Updates
I'll leave them as separate results and have adjusted the rules to reflect this as people have specified KO and TKO in their predictions.
I'll check just before they begin and note down any new entries then leave a post to let everyone know changes and new entries won't be accepted past that time.
27 entries in total.
Competition Results
Results are in. I counted KO/TKO as the same result as it's not always clear and they seem to list both on the UFC website. There were no walkaway KOs, so they could have all been TKOs, but counting them as the same thing just makes everything easier (it was a mistake on my part listeing them as separate results in the instructions/table too). We have a clear winner wiLLie22 I'll be in touch soon!
