RDA is easily my favorite person in the Embedded's. He seems like such a down to earth dude, like he seems so chill to hang out with even on fight week lol

Rafael dos Anjos   vs.   Renato Moicano 


Very difficult fight to pick, but I'm going to edge Moicano slightly. I think this is going to be a case of Moicano winning handily until he gasses. RDA is a great fighter, but he does tend to get baited into standup exchanges, and the problem with that his striking is deceptively bad. He goes to the same combination over and over. Very readable for a guy like Moicano. Very porous. RDA is going to get tagged a lot here.


I think Renato probably drops off bigly after three but yeah, I expect him to take all three of the first five. Whether or not he can survive the last two I've no idea. RDA hasn't TKO'ed anyone since Cowboy back in 2015. That's ancient History in MMA years. RDA's best chance is by sub. He could get it if Renato is gassed bad enough, but I don't see it happening early. Moicano has pretty good choke defence when he's got the legs for it. Could he get a sub on RDA? Maybe, but very very doubtful. RDA has never been subbed and doesn't have a neck.

Could go either way. I'll take Moicano with virtually no confidence.

I look at about 75% of this card and think "Ends in a decision."  Am I wrong?

@acegrains I think 75% decisions is way off, but I can see it, there's a lot of finishes I'm predicting where I wouldn't be surprised if it went.

I've got four but at least two of those are pretty optimistic.

Hard card to pick. The first three bouts in a row are coin flips. Ditto 4 of the top 6. Gonna be a lot of really **** scores and a lot of really good ones IMO.

No ****** way Jacoby vs Olek is a split decision. If you like Olek it's a unlikely finish. Jacoby is so much better and UFC ready. Jacoby 30-26. Maybe a round for Olen, but very unlikely. Jacoby late finish or dominant decision. Olek isn't just some bum he can get some wins on this level, but he needs to get his diet together and fight 185 if not 170. But Jacoby finish round 2

@DCpredictions we're worlds apart on that one. I cannot see what people see in Jacoby. Looks like a pretty standard kickboxer to me. I don't think he's a better striker than Bukauskas. Not saying he's going to lose but there's no way I'd bet on him.

About women hitting air or brushing opponent with the tip of the fist, that's a pretty common thing. What fighters like Moroz has going for them is the kiai shouts that convinces about half of the ****** judges that they're doing work. That's a factor that can't be discounted.
I still have Agapova by decision though.
