Prediction: wrong Barboza   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 3  

This is a tough fight to call. Barboza is a dangerous striker but Varner is dangerous on the ground. The classic striker vs. grappler. But in the 3rd and final round, Varner's gonna get KO'd for the first time in his career.

Prediction: wrong Barboza   wrong Decision  

Im honestly surprised by the amount of Barboza finishes being picked, especially the round 1's. He has never been KO'd

I feel sorry for Varner, but he's never lost via TKO. Picking Barboza via decision.

@Tank, so is Cerrone's and McCullough's (before he went way downhill) but neither could finish him, Varner KO'd McCullough and fought Cerrone to decision twice

Prediction: correct Varner   correct KO/TKO   correct Round 1  

i got barboza with the KO but the ML on varner is too tempting. +325. barboza has never lost. he will lose  sometime and he is definitely the better fighter but everyone has there off nights. thats why i'll chance varner with 50 bucks.

Prediction: wrong Barboza   wrong Decision  

I don't know why but I think Varner survives to a decision. Unfortunately Barboza doesn't mind coasting, and I think he will break Varner in the first then cruise to a decision. (Don't get me wrong, Barboza is one of my favorite fighters to watch)

Barboza wins again, but I think Varner will survive to a judges decision.

Prediction: correct Varner   correct KO/TKO   correct Round 1  

if varner hits +400 on tapology like he did in nevada i will switch this pick. everybody losses sometime and barboza could have an off night and varner could have one of his better nights. plus varner has already had fights with cerrone (2) and henderson who are better than anybody on barboza's resume. got real money on this fight as well.
