Merab has great wrestling, and that is the most important skill to have in unified rules MMA.

Curtis Blaydes, DEC
Dangerous fight for Blaydes, he should win this but his chin has to survive 3 rounds against a killer. He's lucky that the killer doesn't have killer instinct here...
Lawler vs. Diaz II
Robbie Lawler, DEC
Lawler is on a very bad run, but he's not getting completely destroyed either, still tough and durable as hell. And lets not forget he almost killed Ben Askren with a WWE slam. From what I saw on Instagram, Nick has been drinking, smoking and partying, so he's probably in bad shape but he's still biking and that will give him decent cardio. The real concern here is that his last fight (a clear loss to Spider Silva) was more than 6 YEARS AGO, and he hasn't won a fight since his decision to BJ Penn more than 9 YEARS AGO !!! I don't understand how so many people are picking him to win this fight honestly. Am I missing something ?

Brian Ortega, TKO, R1
Ortega via uppercut late in round 1. Volkanovksi will kick his legs apart until he thinks he can get inside and gets clipped.
Moraes vs. Dvalishvili
Marlon Moraes, TKO, R1
Moraes has one round to work with excellent TDD to exploit jagged striking defense. I like Moraes's chances.

Brian Ortega, SUB, R4
Both very durable, I don't see either gassing out but ortega can and will pull guard because Noone can beat him on the ground right now.
Shevchenko vs. Murphy
Valentina Shevchenko, TKO, R2
Murder.
Blaydes vs. Rozenstruik
Curtis Blaydes, TKO, R2
If Curtis can realize he's more than just a wrestling machine he can pick him apart on the feet.
Lawler vs. Diaz II
Robbie Lawler, DEC
Unless nick can do real damage on the feet, he always loses decisions.
Fiorot vs. Bueno Silva
Manon Fiorot, TKO, R2
Slaughter.

Manon Fiorot, TKO, R2
Manon is a technical bulldog and she is a problem for most in the division. Significant step up from Leonardo or Ricci but Manon still gets it done by way of destruction.
Simón vs. Valiev
Timur Valiev, DEC
Timur and Ricky are both real solid. Timur wins with pure volume.

Fiorot has been tremendous thus far, they should start giving her better competition, honestly. No disrespect to her opponent, but this won't be competitive at all I'm afraid.

Nick Diaz, TKO, R4
Robbie is finished, judging by the last fights, one-round endurance, Nick, although has a big break, but keeps himself in shape, triathlon is a topic, in light of his brother's last defeat, it's a good motivation for him to defend family honor, I see a dominant victory for Diaz
