Predictions: 5 of 12 Winners, 2 Perfect, 315 Points | Tied for 3217th
Justin Gaethje, DEC
Gaethje by Decision. With his punching power, he will dominate.
Whittaker vs. Cannonier
Robert Whittaker, DEC
Whittaker Decision. Cannonier is a good fighter, beat Anderson Sliva but Whittaker is an OP Middleweight. Romero, Till, no one is safe.
Volkov vs. Harris
Walt Harris, TKO, R2
Harris by Round 2 KO. Harris punches hard in his fights, Harder than Volkov. Also, if Volkov can’t beat Blaydes, he can’t beat Harris.

Not even close. Calvillo only has one loss to her name. Nobody is safe from her. Even if your nickname is Lucky

Khabib Unanimous Decision or TKO via ground and pound or a Submission for Khabib, I can imagine all of these outcomes. But I can’t see Justin TKO/KO Khabib. I like both but that’s my prediction

Da Un Jung, TKO, R1
I remember thinking Alvey might make a decent upper level gatekeeper at 185.... doesn't seem to be the case

Volkov - Harris = fireworks

Oliveira vs Ferguson would be amazing but I don't think Oliveira has earned it yet.
Ferg deserves an immediate title shot against the winner of khabib Gaethje in my humble opinion.
