Prediction: correct Birchak   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 1  

Despite his UFC losses, Birchak is a bright prospect.

Prediction: correct Birchak   correct Decision  

I agree.

He tried to play the leg lock game with Entwistle for some reason.

the fight with Almeida goes that way for a majority of BW's.

Birchak is my boy though so some will say I am bias.

Prediction: correct Birchak   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 2  

Why isn't Lopes going back down to 125, I wonder? Rough matchup for him anyway. Birchak's better than his UFC record shows, I think. Certainly nobody else who's nuked Joe Soto like that.

Prediction: correct Birchak   correct Decision  

Birchak's downfall has been playing his opponent's game, but I'm not even sure if lopes belongs. Unless he dominates the grappling and finds a choke, I think it's birchak's fight to lose.

Prediction: correct Birchak   wrong Submission   wrong Round 1  

Birchak by whatever he wants.

And Delino Lopes in a stud. Should be kept to start as low gatekeeper.
