Arman Tsarukyan, DEC
So, I like Arman, but betting a guy at -700 with weight cutting issues, and fighting someone literally last minute is a definite no on the Moneyline. However, I feel like he still wins on his worst day, so.... yep
Tavares vs. Júnior
Antônio Carlos Júnior, DEC
I smell a close fight. I got no clue. Only picking ACJ literally because his background grants him a far better upside. Brad was working at a airport while ACJ was making other BJJ specialists tap. Also, Brad dealt with a ACL tear. Those never go away...

Conor ain’t winning a decision, Conor gonna try and knockout Poirer and if he doesn’t he getting Submented. The odds for Conor by decision should atlest be 10 to 1
Dustin by submersion is at 13 to 1 and that the value IMO

Dan Hooker, TKO, R2
I think some long range shot will find Chandler. Chandler should've hopped over loooong ago. But we'll see.
Eye vs. Calderwood
Jessica Eye, DEC
Ugh. Look, I think Eye can steal a decision here, but her fight IQ could possibly be the worst in the division, compounded with health issues also. JoJo can shine here, but she too is hard to trust especially with her ground game. .....I dunno..
Sanchez vs. Muradov
Makhmud Muradov, TKO, R1
Muradov is verrrry dangerous if Andrew keeps this on the feet. I hope the time off gives him the power to show that.
Rodriguez vs. Ribas
Amanda Ribas, SUB, R2
Really liking Ribas here. Just hoping she can exploit Marina's lack of ground game.

Poirier vs McGregor II
Dustin Poirier, TKO, R4
Not a lot of people realize that Dustin has twice the fight experience vs Connor, also, cannot say the first first was a clean KO.

Fancy New Predictions
Predictions: 3 of 7 Winners, 2 Perfect, 200 Points | Tied for 3763rd
I predict Amanda Ribas at -315. She has a militant axe kick. Ribas should assist the senses.
Rountree vs. Prachnio
I embrace Khalil Rountree at -345. He has a villainous spinning back fist. Rountree ought to screw the rival.
Lentz vs. Evloev
I believe in Movsar Evloev at -610. He has a passionate training style and a brilliant check hook and also an illogical palm block. Evloev is about to cheat the rival.
Hooker vs. Chandler
I can't get enough of Dan Hooker at -145. He has a wacky full guard. Hooker is about to impair the senses.
Sanchez vs. Muradov
I select Makhmud Muradov at -165. He has a judicious triangle choke and an intelligent lapel choke. Muradov ought to whack the cake.
Tsarukyan vs. Frevola
I go with Arman Tsarukyan at -700. He has an ironic lumberjack sweep. Tsarukyan won't undermine the counteragent. Die daumen drücken!
Poirier vs. McGregor II
I love Conor McGregor at -310. He has a zesty anaconda. McGregor isn't about to screw the performance.

Dan Hooker, TKO, R2
Chandler's probably the best wrestler Hooker's ever faced. Just hope it's not a hump-fest
Eye vs. Calderwood
Joanne Calderwood, DEC
Heart picking here
Tavares vs. Júnior
Antônio Carlos Júnior, DEC
Love the Shoe Face nickname but I'm a fan of Tavares so I'm superstitiously picking Carlos so Brad will win
Albazi vs. Zhumagulov
Amir Albazi, DEC
How does one win over Malcolm Gordon garner you 79% of picks vs. a guy with wins over Tyson Nam & Baugatinov, as well as giving prospect Ulanbekov his first loss? That being said I'm picking Albazi but not confidently
