Predictions: 5 of 11 Winners, 0 Perfect, 265 Points | Tied for 2541st
Park vs. Phillips
Jun Yong Park, TKO, R3
John Phillips...all heart and power, no skill. Park's win over Barriault looks better over time. Well-rounded dude who plays things incredibly sound. Doubt Phillips converts on the obvious gameplan. Fantasy players...Park is your guy.
Ziam vs. Mullarkey
Jamie Mullarkey, DEC
Ziam is getting sharp money, but I can't see it. Brad Riddell appears to be a very nice fighter that Mullarkey found some offense against. I will never trust a fighter than only finds a way to land 10 strikes in 15 minutes in the UFC. You even wanna be here, man? Mullarkey by wrestling.
Antigulov vs. Grishin
Gadzhimurad Antigulov, SUB, R1
Size vs skill. Antigulov is a great greco-roman wrestler that hunts submissions. Really unfortunate Bearjew got him off his back because he dominated that first round. Grishin is bigger, but not nearly Paul Craig's caliber on the mat. Craig being a larger 205'er should help Antigulov find his distance as well. Grishin has a huge size advantage, but was lost on the mat against Tybura. Size only goes as far as you use it....
Nurmagomedov vs. Striegl
Mark Striegl, SUB, R1
Once you put on the film, he's clearly not related by blood. Really lost an easy decision with his lack of prowess on the mat. Not great news for him that Streigl loves to do just that. He subbed Kai Kara-France...that's not the level on the feet Said Nurmagomedov has anywhere in his body. Striegl may burst a ton of parlays quickly....

Read this article and u should be confident in Krause. Im all for freedom of speech but in my oppion Claudio Silva should just ****. Im also not saying hes wrong but he has a toxic mindset. Fighter shouldn't be think about that thought of thing, U should be thinking about ur opponent. We all know Conor a ****, But you know what more important James Krause
I don't want to go full keyboard warrior but the reason he not getting respect is because he fought like 4 time in ten year, so maybe have the great idea of fighting to get the respect you want. In the UFC, the ****s make the most money, but its still a sport and if you boring you can still make to the top or close to it I.e Usman, Woodly and Fitch.

Predictions: 9 of 11 Winners, 3 Perfect, 565 Points | Tied for 45th with 6 others
Ortega vs. Jung
Chan Sung Jung, DEC
I’m 50/50 with this fight. I just want to enjoy this one
Andrade vs. Chookagian
Jéssica Andrade, DEC
Andrade is going to make this a dirty fight which Katlyn doesn’t want. Big reach difference but still think she takes this
Bukauskas vs. Crute
Jimmy Crute, SUB, R1
Bukauskas has no takedown defence and against Crute that is going to be a problem. Easy work for Crute
Silva vs. Krause
James Krause, TKO, R3
Silva isn’t a great striker at all but his grappler is really next level. I still think Krause should be able to pick him apart
Almeida vs. Martinez
Jonathan Martinez, TKO, R2
Almeida is a great striker but his striking defence isn’t the best and Martinez has very great timing with his striking
Gamrot vs. Kutateladze
Mateusz Gamrot, DEC
Gamrot should be able to pick him apart. If it hits the mat I expect him to dominate even more
Robertson vs. Botelho
Gillian Robertson, SUB, R2
Botelho puts everytime into her shots, gases out and isn’t a good grappler. Gillian is far superior grappler
Park vs. Phillips
Jun Yong Park, DEC
Park should be able to work him with the jab and avoid all big power shots. Wrestling could help a lot too
Ziam vs. Mullarkey
Fares Ziam, DEC
Ziam should be able to defend the takedowns and win in the striking. Mullarkey shoots too many lazy takedowns
Antigulov vs. Grishin
Maxim Grishin, TKO, R2
Antigulov doesn’t have a gas tank, if he doesn’t get a quick sub than he’s getting KO’d. Grishin by KO.
Nurmagomedov vs. Striegl
Said Nurmagomedov, DEC
Said should be too tricky on the feet and should be able to defend any of Striegl’s submission attemps
Chan Sung Jung, DEC

Jéssica Andrade, TKO, R1
Really strange, that in 7-8 extended and argumented predictions prople write, that Chookagian has more chances.

Predictions: 9 of 11 Winners, 1 Perfect, 490 Points | Tied for 283rd
Ortega vs. Jung
Brian Ortega, TKO, R4
I think this has potential to be a war.
Andrade vs. Chookagian
Jéssica Andrade, DEC
I can't pick Katlyn.
Bukauskas vs. Crute
Jimmy Crute, SUB, R2
Probably a dominant finish by Crute, but Bukauskas is live for a TKO here.
Silva vs. Krause
Claudio Silva, SUB, R2
Hardest fight to pick, Krause can easily stay out of trouble and win this.
Almeida vs. Martinez
Thomas Almeida, TKO, R2
This should be a fun one.
Gamrot vs. Kutateladze
Mateusz Gamrot, DEC
When I see a champion in another organization with an undefeated record I see someone that sticks to their gameplan. I think he wins an easy decision here.
Robertson vs. Botelho
Gillian Robertson, SUB, R2
Hopefully domination by the savage.
Park vs. Phillips
Jun Yong Park, DEC
Park is live to sub Phillips, but likely a Barriault-style decision.
Ziam vs. Mullarkey
Fares Ziam, DEC
Unimpressed with both fighters, but I'll go with the younger fighter to make good improvements and avoid getting held up against the cage, use his knees and elbows and take a decision win.
Antigulov vs. Grishin
Maxim Grishin, TKO, R1
I think Antigulov gasses out after a few minutes and Grishin puts him away late round 1 or early round 2 with ground and pound.
Nurmagomedov vs. Striegl
Said Nurmagomedov, DEC
Nurmagomedov has a lot of experience against good russian grapplers and he's never been submitted. I think Striegl is live to win the first round, but not sub Said. Said 29-28 or 30-27.
Brian Ortega, TKO, R4
I think this has potential to be a war.
Andrade vs. Chookagian
Jéssica Andrade, DEC
I can't pick Katlyn.

Predictions: 6 of 11 Winners, 3 Perfect, 425 Points | Tied for 1003rd
Ortega vs. Jung
Chan Sung Jung, TKO, R2
I like Brian Ortega. I was always a fan of his, but after that shellacking he received from Holloway, (and yess, I understand it was all but 2 years ago) I woulda much rather seen him get matched up with somebody else, ANYBODY else but the ******* Zombie. Because he's gonna get pieced up again. He doesn't have the striking skill to hang with the Zombie, where as the Zombie is aware enough on the ground to hang with Ortega, or atleast survive and get back to the feet and start chewing Ortega up again. I just dont like the matchup for Ortega.
Andrade vs. Chookagian
Jéssica Andrade, DEC
Honestly, Chookagian might be my most hated WMMA fighter. I just CANNOT ******* stand her. Her and her "Hiiiii-yah" after every ************* strike. I just wish one of these females could help put me outta my misery and murder this broad already. Andrade has the power, but can she catch her clean? Chookagian is 8" taller, only 4" longer tho. And I sadly can see Hii-yaah Queen winning a decision on volume, air strikes, and her big dumb expressions. Piss me the **** off.
Bukauskas vs. Crute
Jimmy Crute, TKO, R1
I was just getting ready to call Modestas a "kid" and he's actually 2 years older than Jimmy Crute. I keep forgetting Crute ain't even 25 yet. My buddy thinks this is an even fight, I'm feeling about 75/25 for Crute. I think Modestas is a great addition to arguably the most depleted division and there's tons of great fights for him out there. This one is gonna be a great fight. For as long as it lasts. I just feel that Crute is the more prepared fighter at this point. I think Modestas is right there, but literally maybe just a half step behind. Of course, In my opinion.
Almeida vs. Martinez
Thomas Almeida, TKO, R2
Geeeeeeezus christ. I knew it's been a minute. But I didn't think it's been 46 fookin months since Thomas Almeida's last win. Woooow. I always struggle picking these fights with guys that not only have been on the shelf forever, but haven't won a fight in even longer. Are they gonna just do what needs to be done, to coast to a decision just to get time in the octagon and a win back under their belt, or are they gonna go out there and dismantle then finish their opponent like their old self would've done? I don't know how to pick those fights, and this is a good example.
Antigulov vs. Grishin
Maxim Grishin, TKO, R2
Back down at 205 makes me feel a whole lot better about Grishin's future in the UFC. And hopefully he's got those "UFC Jitters" outta the way and he can finally shine under them bright lights. He's definitely where he belongs, shoulda been a long while ago,

@BradThom717
I pick with my gut, not my head. If my instinct says that, then that's what I'm gonna for. For example in the Miocic VS Cormier at UFC 252, I also went with Miocic for a 2nd Round Sub, simply because my gut said "Go on! Go for it!" despite all the facts against it. I pick for fun and couldn't care less about my pick %.
Though I will admit that I'm not exactly an expert on Botelho. I've heard of her and her stats look decent but I don't know a lot about her and I'm way too lazy to do any detailed research. I'll learn more about her from this fight though.

Alright, so I actually think Striegl isn't that bad. Problem is, he just hasn't fought the same level of competition as Said. This will be interesting.

If the lines keep moving on the main event I reckon some risk takers might walk away with a nice bag for themselves if they bet on Ortega being able to pull something off out of nowhere again (e.g. Moicano fight) and if Zombie can throw it all away again (e.g. Yair fight).

If Said Nurmagomedov does a crap ton of spinning backfist and spinning kicks like he loves to do i think striegl might be able to time the take down and get a win.
