Predictions: 8 of 14 Winners, 5 Perfect, 550 Points | Tied for 2312th
Alexander Hernandez, TKO, R1
This is a bold one, but I see Hernandez getting him out early. I simply don't trust Moicano's chin and Alex's athleticism and wrestling edge should be enough to avoid the ground almost entirely, and if his wrestling isn't enough, his athleticism will be. Moicano is the better all-round fighter but Alex can crack.
Wells vs. Mathetha
Jeremiah Wells, SUB, R1

Jeremiah Wells, TKO, R1
I'm going to have to go with Wells due to him having more experience than Mathetha. Mathethas not looking to impressive with his 3 wins to random tomato cans. I'ma say KO or decision for Wells.

Sergey Morozov, DEC
Really great fight between two experienced fighters. I'm going to have to go with Morozov by decision. Control time is going to play a huge factor in this fight for Morozov. The only way Douglas can win is if he can stuff the takedowns and keep the fighting off the ground and land those heavy shots. Otherwise, I'm going with Morozov to grind out the decision. They look pretty matched in skill.

Carlos Ulberg, TKO, R2
After Ulberg gassing out in the second round in his last performance, its hard to go with him in any fight in my honest opinion. On the other hand, we have Cherant coming off of two losses to finishes. Even though Ulberg gassed out in the second round of his last fight, he was landing some bombs in the first round. I'm gonna guess Cherant will try to gass out Ulberg, but Cherants chin will definitely be comprimised. Ulberg by KO or TKO

Israel Adesanya, DEC
Whittaker is gonna be hard to put away, especially after fighting once. But, Israel is going to most likely piece him up from the outside and stuff the takedowns Whittaker will most likely have adopted from Adesanyas loss to Jan Blanchowicz. Adesanyas ability to adapt will be put up to question.

Derrick Lewis, TKO, R1
Really tough fight to choose. Heavyweights most of the time are a pick em. I see a possible KO by either side. Lewis' perfomance against Chris Daukus was impressive, even when Daukus' speed was noticeably faster than Derricks. It only takes one shot. KO by either but I'm going with Lewis.

Jacob Malkoun, DEC
Wrestling will play a huge factor in this fight. Either Malkoun shows up with his world class wrestling, or Dobson starches him.

Alex Perez, DEC
Perez has fought a ton of top 10 fighters compared to Schnell. I give him props for agreeing to take this fight but, its a terrible matchup for him. That's definitely going to play a huge factor. I'm confident in Perez to grind out a decision or a submission.
Knight vs. Grishin
William Knight, DEC
I'm not too confident with this fight. Not too interested in this fight as well.
Lawrence vs. Martinez
Mana Martinez, TKO, R1
Mana Martinez is seriously being underestimated here. I feel that his split decision victory is playing a huge factor in the odds along with Ronnie Lawrences hype. I'm not buying his hype at all.

Jared Vanderaa, DEC
How is Arlovski still signed with the UFC?! 20 losses!? Not gonna give Vanderaa too much **** for losing to Ramonov, I dont believe he can beat high level competition if he cant get passed Arlovski. Both of these dudes have terrible chins as well. I'm not too confident in this pick.

Casey O'Neill, DEC
Excellent matchup for Casey O'Neill. If she puts on a great performance, I can defintely see her being ranked next. Terrible matchup for Roxanne though, I believe they're utilizing her as a gatekeeper for the newer fighters. Why would she fight an unranked fighter while being ranked number 9.

Jared Cannonier, DEC
I'm confident Cannonier will get next dibs at Adesanya.
Phillips vs. Rojo
Kyler Phillips, TKO, R3
Rojos last performances were terrible. I'm 90% sure Kyler starches him, he takes too much damage.
Haqparast vs. Green
Nasrat Haqparast, DEC
Haqparast has been putting in alot of work with Georges St Pierre. I'm hoping hes sharpened his tools.

Disrespect towards the black beast.
Predictions: 8 of 14 Winners, 5 Perfect, 590 Points | Tied for 1857th
Are you guys really impressed he beat a Greg Hardy who makes a ton of mistakes and gasses out...and a Sakai that was coming off of 2 straight finishes?
The guy is not that good....Lewis KO.
The Chris Daukaus hype train ended and so will the Tuivasa.

Derek Brunson still has a glass chin
Predictions: 8 of 14 Winners, 5 Perfect, 590 Points | Tied for 1857th
Even DARREN OVERRATED TILL was piecing him up and he had to resort to a lot of desperation takedowns. The guy is a very good wrestler and has good and not sloppy takedowns. But come on....one hit on that Cody Garbrandt like chin from a beast like Cannonier can put him away.
Cannonier has pretty low defensive wrestling and makes mistakes...so if he doesnt get that chin tag Brunson will be able to take over.

Derek Brunson, DEC
I've gone back & forth here a lot, but ultimately, I'm settling on Derek.
