Kempt New Predictions

Predictions: 3 of 3 Winners, 1 Perfect, 175 Points   |   Tied for 436th

Fletcher vs. Damiani
I am enamored with AJ Fletcher at -150. He has an advanced armpit slam. Fletcher is gonna ravage the opposing forces.

Murzakanov vs. Scheffel
I am with Azamat Murzakanov at -490. He has a yellow-bellied liver kick. Murzakanov will manipulate the dark horse. Never fails!

Altamirano vs. Candelario
I am obsessed with Victor Altamirano at -150. He has a tremendous five point palm exploding heart technique. Altamirano is about to assist the achievement.

Not sure about this 1 at all??
Fletcher has crushed a lot of cans! Damiani the same. I went Fletcher because I think the US South East scene is tougher than the Italian scene, just in terms of depth.

Also, Fletcher trains at Gladiator under Tim Creduer. A few good fighters came out of there, mainly Poirier but a couple others.
Find out soon

His record isn't the best but a flashy finish like that could certainly put him in contention for a UFC contract. Still not sure how well he'd fare in the UFC though.

He'll beat anyone with bad get ups. But his striking defense a bit worrying tbh. But hey, he had a near perfect fight against a 10-2 fighter so no doubt he deserves a contract.

I used to rate Candelario as a prospect to watch years ago. But he's fought once since 2017!
Altimarano has been whooping ass in LFA, he's the Champion there. I think that makes the difference.
But both these guys are evenly matched
