Predictions: 9 of 13 Winners, 3 Perfect, 565 Points   |   Tied for 2602nd

Semelsberger vs. Sano
Matt Semelsberger, DEC
When Sano loses this fight, it will tilt Nick a bit, but since Nick didn't at all talk about Sano at the presser maybe he won't care.

Reminds me of th wave of people switching from Ronda Rousey to Holly Holm after the weigh in fiasco. People were like she's loosing her mind.

Wacky New Predictions

Predictions: 11 of 12 Winners, 5 Perfect, 675 Points   |   Tied for 1115th

Lawler vs. Diaz II
I go for Robbie Lawler at -150. He has a passionate brainbuster. Lawler could impair the rival.

Maximov vs. Brundage
I prefer Nick Maximov at -130. He has a yummy scissors sweep. Maximov will likely hamper the previous pitfalls.

Semelsberger vs. Sano
I elect Matt Semelsberger at -500. He has an incredible uppercut. Semelsberger should heal the humiliating defeat.

Volkanovski vs. Ortega
I choose Alexander Volkanovski at -180. He has a glamorous clawhold. Volkanovski ought to ravage the corner man.

Andrade vs. Calvillo
I am loyal to Jéssica Andrade at -260. She has a gifted scissors sweep. Andrade is gonna bully the achievement.

Modafferi vs. Santos
I prefer Taila Santos at -405. She has an incredible knife hand block. Santos is about to choke the ring announcer. Obey my dog!

Morales vs. Pearce
I select Omar Morales at -155. He has a groundbreaking hiza guruma. Morales ought to weaken the ring announcer. For sure!

Hooker vs. Haqparast
I crave Dan Hooker at -145. He has an odd guillotine and a judicious demeanor. Hooker is about to blend the bandit.

Abdurakhimov vs. Daukaus
I desire Chris Daukaus at -210. He has an illogical mounted elbow drop. Daukaus is gonna block the victory.

Moraes vs. Dvalishvili
I can't get enough of Merab Dvalishvili at -260. He has a brackish harai goshi. Dvalishvili won't ruin the ring announcer.

Shevchenko vs. Murphy
I prefer Valentina Shevchenko at -1600. She has a delusional inverted atomic drop and an intelligent tsuri-dashi and also a sincere knife hand block. Shevchenko won't outsmart the unthinkable. Money in the bank!

Blaydes vs. Rozenstruik
I want Curtis Blaydes at -335. He has a fancy scissors sweep and a talented inverted atomic drop and also a passionate hane goshi. Blaydes isn't about to climb the previous pitfalls.

Always find it interesting whenever they discuss Volk and Holloway. Whenever Volk fights, they say he's beaten Max twice. Whenever Max fights, they say he arguably beat Volk.

No arguing Murphy's ****** though.
