-edit- Meant Burns via sub, has been fixed.
Alright the Stipe-DC fight is easily one of the hardest picks I've had to make. I'm going back and forth, but when I looked at my post and the picks I made, I didn't feel confident in my DC pick. Now I don't know what the hell to do.

John Dodson, TKO, R2
Really, really rooting or Merab but I have a bad feeling about this one
Miller vs. Pichel
Jim Miller, SUB, R1
How in the hell is Pichel the favorite in this fight?
Kamaka III vs. Kelley
Kai Kamaka III, DEC
So the guy with only decision wins over nobody recognizable or the guy with a split win over Levi Mowles, followed by a split loss to Kevin Aguilar a year later, then 3 years off? Absolutely no confidence in this pick.

John Dodson
I took a shot Dodson +450 by ko/tko, Merab likes to hump but can't keep people down. Dodson connects with a power right to end the night for the nuthugger.

Stipe Miocic
This is a tough fight. Initially I favored Stipe 8/5. Then i discovered the cage is 5 feet smaller that favors Cormier. But i'll make a small play on Stipe by stoppage. He knows Daniel's belly is his weakness. Similar to 2nd fight. Daniel is a sentimental pick but logic says the younger man wins the trilogy.

I'm on the fence with O'Malley and Vera. I think if Vera was to get the win, it would be via submission, which I do see being a strong possibility.
I also feel Cormier via Stocic is one of the harder fights to predict. slot of the points can go to either fighter, but I have to go with the last fight for Cormier.
Lastly, I do think Burns will be losing this one, just haven't changed it yet.
