Predictions: 11 of 13 Winners, 5 Perfect, 730 Points   |   Tied for 291st

VanZant vs. Ribas
Amanda Ribas, DEC
Bet your houses guys. I have nothing else to say.

Munhoz vs. Edgar
Pedro Munhoz, DEC
What is Edgar doing at bantamweight?

Andrade vs. Namajunas II
Jéssica Andrade, TKO, R1
People underestimate Andrade a lot. I think she does it again. Punch or slam but she does it again.

Oezdemir vs. Procházka
Volkan Oezdemir, TKO, R1
Let's how is your guy doing there but Volkan is one of the toughest in the world.

Damn this card is gonna be straight up crazy. Volkan has looked good recently. Could launch Jiri into the top 5.

What A Card!!!!!

Predictions: 6 of 13 Winners, 3 Perfect, 415 Points   |   Tied for 3104th


I really hope this card looks like this come July 11th.   3 Title fights, 3 close competitive title fights at that, on paper anyways. No 1. contender fight in the strongest Womens division and probably the best fight that could be made between any non Champion females.  Edgars debut at 135 vs Pedro Munoz, Jiri Prochazkas UFC debut vs Volkan in what seems a sure fire banger!!!  and 1 of, if not the best female prospect in Amanda Ribas.

Again, What A Card!!!!  1 of the best International Fight Week cards in years.  I really hope this stays together
