I honesly hope Topiera mauls Hall just to not hear from his mouth breathing fanbase, I think they might be more ******** then the Diaz or McGregor fan base, And that saying something.

Look how relatively easy it was for Alex Caceres to defeat Chase Hooper, although Hall has much more experience and training than Hooper (and it should be noted that Hall is not physically weak as Hooper), but his strategies are almost the same to use mostly kicks in the striking and they use leg locks on the ground. Hall's Grappling gained much fame for heel hooking over BJ Penn, the same BJ Penn who was knocked out in a bar fight at that point in his career but was still surprising to many by BJ Penn's rank in BJJ (5th Degree Black Belt under Dede Pederneiras) and that Penn in 2000 was a BJJ world champion. But Johnny Nunez, Lobov has zero submissions defense (and even so the Russian managed to survive until the decision). Maynard was already done and not counting the fights against Edgar most of him were based on taking down his opponents (which he obviously wouldn't do against a leg locker). His rare standing strategy did work against Darren Elkins who he even nearly knocked out 3 times, but it is unlikely that he would repeat a performance against someone at the top.
In conclusion Rousimar Phalares, Rani Yayha, Joe Soto, Frank Mir and many other leg lockers have succumbed to fighters with knowledge in defending this class of submissions.
Don't even forget how Leonardo Santos was knocked out by Grant Dawson attempting a heel hook. So Ryan Hall Fans should know that attempting a leg lock or trying to fight on his feet with his style of the green zones for Hall against a Top 10 is even more dangerous for him than for his rivals.

Edit because I realized I too hastily assumed Hu's last two losses were pre-UFC because I didn't recognize him at all: OK I see now those L's were in the UFC, but I'm keeping what I wrote because it got my feelings about how bad these two fighters are across.

Predictions: 4 of 12 Winners, 3 Perfect, 325 Points | 4005th Place
Kevin Lee, TKO, R3
Sean brady is a problem and Im surprised kevin lee has the balls to debut in welter against him. Brady has the better cardio but both are good wrestlers with the difference being that brady has more heart and is more determined when it comes to taking his opponent down and securing a dominant position. If they have a grappling war lee will most likely gas, go for a desperate takedown and get caught in a submission. With all that being said, Kevin Lee sees holes in bradys game and he fits in them.

Dustin Poirier, SUB, R2
After this fight McNuggets probably should retire from MMA, enjoy his money and perhaps knock Jake Paul into a 4 year long coma.

Im picking motivated McGregor. He knows what to do, he just has to do it. Poirier cant handle a McGregor with a proper(12) gameplan.

Condit is clearly slowing down, but he looked decent his last couple of fights... He can still win this by close decision...

McGregor vs. Poirier III
Predictions: 7 of 12 Winners, 2 Perfect, 415 Points | Tied for 3222nd
Now that the GOAT has retired, Poirier is the best lightweight in the world. I think he will go more grappling heavy now that McGregor "hAs SolVeD ThE LoW KiCkS". He will finish Conor again for the money, and we get the two for one of him being able to win the belt finally, and never having to talk about the notorious one ever again.

Sean Brady, TKO, R2
I think Samurai Lee will try to swang n bang, get a highlight reel with that head tattoo but sadly I think it'll be bouncing off the floor.
Price vs. Pereira
Niko Price, TKO, R1

Griffin vs. Condit
Carlos Condit, TKO, R3
Condit should not be fightin guys like Max, but I will pick him just because, **** it
