Jan Błachowicz, TKO, R2
L Hook Blacha.
Yan vs. Sandhagen
Petr Yan, DEC
One of the toughest fights to predict but I believe Yan will come to victory in this match with his explosive shifts and his wrestling.
Makhachev vs. Hooker
Dan Hooker, TKO, R2
I believe that if Hooker tries to impose pace and put him in a position where Makhacev is fighting on the back foot he will win this match by knockout. HOOK FROM THE HELL
Volkov vs. Tybura
Alexander Volkov, TKO, R2
Tybura is too slow, Volkov should imitation it with his movements and straight punches.
Li vs. Chimaev
Khamzat Chimaev, TKO, R2
Chimaev via crazy ground for pound.
Ankalaev vs. Oezdemir
Magomed Ankalaev, TKO, R3
Ankalaev should combine wrestling and striking and get an easy win, I even think he'll be knocked out the moment Oezdemir shortens his distance with someone ...
Ribas vs. Jandiroba
Amanda Ribas, DEC
Ribas scrubbing my lotn. I think she's more shod in all spheres of struggle.
Tukhugov vs. Ramos
Zubaira Tukhugov, DEC
Tukhugov another split decision.
Duraev vs. Kopylov
Albert Duraev, SUB, R1
Kopylov is a slow starter I think Duraev will break it with great pace wrestling from the very beginning and that at some point Kopylov will turn his back and the mec will end with rnc.
Zaleski vs. Saint-Denis
Benoit Saint-Denis, DEC
Denis is much more dimensional I believe he can handle the striking too with him. Upset of the night
Oleksiejczuk vs. Gamzatov
Shamil Gamzatov, TKO, R2
Gamzat's via flurry of punches. The only thing to look out for is that left hook and the way it enters the exchange.
Amirkhani vs. Murphy
Makwan Amirkhani, DEC
Amirkhani if he comes in with a good gameplan.
Hu vs. Petroski
Andre Petroski, SUB, R2
Hu won't withstand that high tempo. Petroski takes back throws it to the floor and quickly ends this match.
Ismagulov vs. Mustafaev
Damir Ismagulov, DEC
Ismagulov future champ!
Ulanbekov vs. Nascimento
Tagir Ulanbekov, TKO, R2
Ulanbekov determines where the fight will take place I think there's a much better striking and this will get easy.

I'm surprised so many people are on Murphy here. He's a solid fighter and his ceiling is high, but if we're being real, he is to Leon Edwards what Tom Waits songs are when they're sung by Scarlett Johanson. He also hasn't fought anything like the level of competition a Makwan and is vulnerable to getting outpointed due to poor TDD, which isn't good against Amirkhani.
A friend of mine has met Makwan twice now, and has said both times he couldn't believe how much of a ****** he is when the cameras aren't on him. So I hope the Tap majority is right. But I might take him here by dec. I do think Lerone has a very good shot of getting the W however and it's a bit of a pickem.

Lerone Murphy, DEC
Really liking Murphy in this one, his striking is just much better than Makwan's who just leaves his lands low and is very open to counter. Lerone is sharp with his boxing, switches stances really well and can punish Makwan with the counter striking. Makwan has to wrestle otherwise I think he gets dominateddm I think he's gonna have a hard time keeping Murphy down on the ground though because Murphy can create scrambles

Michał Oleksiejczuk, DEC
Time for an underdog pick here, not been that impressed with Gamzatov, he struggled in his debut and I'm not sure if he really did win that fight, he can get backed up and Michal does have have the better striking too, and we all know how good Michal's forward pressure is too. I feel like Gamzatov will be on his back foot for most of the fight and getting frustrated by it too

Predictions: 12 of 14 Winners, 0 Perfect, 600 Points | Tied for 2308th
Jan Błachowicz
I think Jan wins RD1 and RD2, Glover becomes more aggressive and sloppy in RD3 and gets dropped and possibly KO'd
Yan vs. Sandhagen
Petr Yan
I see Peter YAN moving forward and winning by split decision or 49-46.
Makhachev vs. Hooker
Islam Makhachev
Islam will winning this by decision and defending all sub attempts. Hooker will be controlled the entire fight and will spend most of his energy trying defending takedowns and sub,and won't have the snap and power in his arms as he usually does to be threatening in the standup.
Volkov vs. Tybura
Alexander Volkov
Tybura's only path of winning is closing the distance, clinching and taking down Volkov. I see Tybura winning the 1st round, Volkov will piece him up for a 29-28 decision and possibly finish him early if Tubura is wreckless.
Li vs. Chimaev
Khamzat Chimaev
I see why MMA fans are giving Jin the respect he deserves, but without the takedown threat I see him falling to the mat like the rest of Khamzat's oponnents. Jinliang must plant his feets for the KOs, which presents his legs for a single leg or a double leg. This will be any easy fight for Khamzat.
Ankalaev vs. Oezdemir
Magomed Ankalaev
Magomed has been very impressive lately and has faced very dangerous oponnents and made it look easy, his fight IQ is off the charts. I see him timing a couple of takedowns and making Volkan's life hell for 3 rounds, possibly finishing him early but I doubt Volkan will be reckless after his most recent devestating losses.
Ribas vs. Jandiroba
Amanda Ribas
This is a tough one, i see Ribas winning by split decision or 29-28, possibly losing the last round. I had to watch tape on each fighter multiple times before making this prediction. Virna has power in her hands with looping punches but Ribas is very good with her range and pulling away from those type of punches as seen in the Dern fight. I see Virna going all out in the 1st round and possibly tiring herself out, with Ribas pulling away with a blitz of straight punches and possibly landing a few takedowns. I am not buying the hype around Virna, she's tough and all but against oponnents that she can't takedown and submit, her striking and footwork is average.
Tukhugov vs. Ramos
Zubaira Tukhugov
Zubaira coming off a loss knows that a win here is a must. Ricardo's chin is a suspect, I am also not impressed by his defense when on the ground. Ramos will need to pressure Zubaira to win but will leave himself open to the takedowns. I see Zubaira catching him with a right hook and finishing him with groudn and pound. This could possibly go to decision as well in which I favour Zubaira to win because of his affiliation with Khabib.

Marcin Tybura, TKO, R3
Surprised that the odds are so long on this one - very tough fight to pick IMO.
Tukhugov vs. Ramos
Zubaira Tukhugov, DEC
Another very tough call.
Duraev vs. Kopylov
Albert Duraev, SUB, R1
On the other hand, I'm very confident in this one. On paper. Watch me get blown out.
Zaleski vs. Saint-Denis
Benoit Saint-Denis, SUB, R1
Jeez, another very tough call. My heuristic says to go with the guy on the streak, but Saint-Denis hasn't been facing the level of fighter that Zaleski has. Good matchmaking. Mad props.

There is a big difference to the two cages , and I don't know about anyone else , but it's so much more fun to watch fights in the bigger one, much more standing up
The apex cage is a wrestler/grapplers heaven
